The physical and functional borders of transit peptide-like sequences in secondary endosymbionts.

BMC plant biology - 19 Oct 2010

Felsner Gregor, Sommer Maik S, Maier Uwe G

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Plastids rely on protein supply by their host cells. In plastids surrounded by two membranes (primary plastids) targeting of these proteins is facilitated by an N-terminal targeting signal, the transit peptide. In secondary plastids (surrounded by three or four membranes), transit peptide-like regions are an essential part of a bipartite topogenic signal sequence (BTS), and generally found adjacent to...
