AbstractArabidopsis thaliana metacaspase 9 (AtMC9) plays roles in clearing dead cells, forming xylem vessels, and regulating immunity and programmed cell death in plants. The protease’s activation is controlled by pH levels, but the exact structural mechanism behind this has not been elucidated. In this work, we report high-resolution crystal structures for AtMC9 under both active (pH 5.5 and pH 4.2) and inactive (pH 7.5) conditions.

Retraction to: Nature Aging 1: 454–472 (2021); https://doi.org/10.1038/s43587-021-00063-1The authors have retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding image overlap within Fig 7c (vehicle and MIT). Further, the image data in Fig 7c also appear to overlap with data from two previous publications (Fig 6f (MIT) of1, and Figure 6b (SEN Vehicle) of2).
