The Tomato Metallocarboxypeptidase Inhibitor I, which Interacts with a Heavy Metal-Associated Isoprenylated Protein, Is Implicated in Plant Response to Cadmium
Metallocarboxypeptidases are metal-dependent enzymes, whose biological activity is regulated by inhibitors directed on the metal-containing active site.Some metallocarboxypeptidase inhibitors are induced under stress conditions and have a role in defense against pests.This paper is aimed at investigating the response of the tomato metallocarboxypep
