Abstract excerpt
Sorting of the prohormone POMC to the regulated secretory pathway necessitates the binding of a sorting signal to a sorting receptor, identified as membrane carboxypeptidase E (CPE). The sorting signal, located at the N terminus of POMC consists of two acidic (Asp10, Glu14) and two hydrophobic (Leu11, Leu18) residues exposed on the surface of an amphipathic loop. In this study, molecular modeling of CPE predicted...
