Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms for sorting proteins to the regulated secretory pathway (RSP) remains poorly understood. We recently reported that dibasic sequences that are cleaved by pro-protein convertases (PCs) in pro-neurotensin also acted as sorting signal for the precursor. Here we addressed two questions regarding the role of dibasics as sorting signal: (i) Are dibasics sufficient to direct proteins to the RSP? (ii) Do...
