Transit peptide diversity and divergence: A global analysis of plastid targeting signals.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Oct 2007

Patron Nicola J, Waller Ross F

Abstract excerpt

Proteins are targeted to plastids by N-terminal transit peptides, which are recognized by protein import complexes in the organelle membranes. Historically, transit peptide properties have been defined from vascular plant sequences, but recent large-scale genome sequencing from the many plastid-containing lineages across the tree of life has provided a much broader representation of targeted proteins. This...
