Abstract excerpt
The plant vacuolar sorting receptor (VSR) binds proteins carrying vacuolar sorting signals (VSS) of the 'sequence-specific' type (ssVSS) but not the C-terminal, hydrophobic sorting signals (ctVSS). Seeds of Arabidopsis mutants lacking the major VSR isoform, AtVSR1, secrete a proportion of the proteins destined to storage vacuoles. The sorting signals for these proteins are not well defined, but they do not seem...
