Interaction of M.c. with a polypeptide is normally considered to be noncovalent. However, the definition may be extended to include special cases of covalently bound M.c. such as the pro-sequence of pro-subtilisin and alpha-lytic protease, and the ubiquitin sequence at the aminoterminus of 2-iibosomal precursor proteins in eukaryotes. In each of these cases.
