The paper by Lallemand et al (2015) reporting about identification of extracellular peptidases compromising protein production in plant cells and roots is an excellent contribution to advance our understanding of peptidase action in plant-based recombinant protein production (Lallemand et al, 2015)
Previous approaches used to address this challenge in plants has for example included peptidase silencing by applying RNA interference technology (Voinnet et al, 2003; Hatsugai et al, 2004) and co-expressing specific protease inhibitors as “companions” to limit specific protease activities (Goulet et al, 2010, 2012; Pillay et al, 2012)
