Abstract excerpt
Rat surfactant protein C (SP-C) is synthesized as a 194-amino acid propeptide (SP-C-(1-194)) that is directed to the distal secretory pathway and proteolytically processed as an integral membrane protein to yield its mature form. We had shown previously that trafficking of proSP-C is mediated both by a signal anchor domain contained within the mature SP-C sequence and by a targeting domain in the NH(2)-flanking...
