This novel pro-survival role of AtMC1 may be functionally related to its prodomain-mediated aggregate localization and potential clearance, in agreement with recent findings using the single budding yeast metacaspase YCA1.
Title: The plant metacaspase AtMC1 in pathogen-triggered programmed cell death and aging: functional linkage with autophagy.

study shows type I metacaspases, AtMC1 and AtMC2, antagonistically control programmed cell death; AtMC1 is a positive regulator of cell death; requires conserved caspase-like putative catalytic residues for function; AtMC2 negatively regulates cell death
Title: Arabidopsis type I metacaspases control cell death.

AtMCP1b and AtMCP2b are arginine/lysine-specific cysteine proteases with roles in apoptosis. [AtMCP1b]
Title: Two Arabidopsis metacaspases AtMCP1b and AtMCP2b are arginine/lysine-specific cysteine proteases and activate apoptosis-like cell death in yeast.
