Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome b2, a protein of the yeast mitochondrial intermembrane space, is synthesized with an 80 residue bipartite presequence. The amino-terminal portion resembles a matrix-targeting signal. The carboxy-terminal portion acts as a 'sorting signal' for the intermembrane space and contains a hydrophobic stretch. In order to define this sorting signal, we fused the first 167 residues of the cytochrome b2 precursor...
