Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: SlCYS8
  • Gene Name: Cysteine proteinase inhibitor
  • Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
  • Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

  • Tomato cystatin SlCYS8 as a stabilizing fusion partner for human serpin expression in plants.
  • SlCYS8, a Cys protease inhibitor of the cystatin protein superfamily, as a stabilizing fusion partner for human alpha-1-antichymotrypsin (α1ACT) targeted to the plant cell secretory pathway.
  • The stabilizing effect of SlCYS8 does not involve Cys protease inhibition and can be partly reproduced in the cytosol, where peptide linkers are less susceptible to degradation.
  • SlCYS8 imparts a generic stabilizing effect on α1ACT accumulation.
