Resumen:
Aspartic proteases (APs, EC 3.4.23) are proteolytic enzymes widely distributed on plants, animals and microorganisms. They are the second largest group among proteases after serin proteases, but their specific functions are poorly understood (Rawlings et al., 2013).Some aspartic proteases have been purified from potato genome and have demonstrated to confer tolerance to Phytophthora infestans and diverse abiotic stresses. In addition one of these proteases (AAT77954.1 or StAP3) has been related to cell death (Guevara et al, 2005)A characteristic feature of some aspartic proteases is the occurrence of an extra 100 aminoacids long segment known as plant specific insert (PSI) which was proved to confer resistance to pathogens (Frey et al, 2018). The aim of this work was to identify and characterize aspartic proteases on Solanum tuberosum genome.
