The structural, functional, and therapeutic potential of metacaspases in fungi and protozoa

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Metacaspases are Ca2+‐dependent cysteine proteases whose structural characteristics, particularly calcium binding and autocatalytic processing, govern their activation and biological functions. These enzymes differ among microorganisms and regulate their cell cycles, making them excellent targets for drug development.
