Abstract excerpt
Proteins secreted by prokaryotic cells are synthesized as precursors containing an amino-terminal extension sequence or signal peptide. Although these signal peptides share little primary sequence homology, recent studies suggest that they function via common pathways during the transport process and that a common element may reside in their secondary structural characteristics. We are investigating the role of...
