Physical damage to cells leads to the release of immunomodulatory peptides in order to elicit wound defense responses in the surrounding tissue. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the intracellular PROPEP1 protein precursor is processed into the mature 2.5 kDa PEP1 before release. However, the maturation mech...
