Abstract excerpt
Endosymbiotic organelles, mitochondria and chloroplasts, are sites of an intensive protein synthesis and degradation. A consequence of these processes is production of both free targeting peptides, i.e. mitochondrial presequences and chloroplastic transit peptides, and other short unstructured peptides. Mitochondrial, as well as chloroplastic peptides are degraded by Presequence Protease (PreP), which is dually...
