Abstract excerpt
Signal peptides direct the export of secretory proteins from the cytoplasm. After processing by signal peptidase, they are degraded in the membrane and cytoplasm. The resulting fragments can have signaling functions. These observations suggest important roles for signal peptide peptidases. The present studies show that the Gram-positive eubacterium Bacillus subtilis contains two genes for proteins, denoted SppA...
