Proteins preprotein

As described earlier, translation of the EPSPS mRNA of plants results in the formation of a protein which has an AJ-terminal extension. The AJ-terminal extension, referred to as the chloroplast transit peptide, is necessary and sufficient for the import of the preprotein by the chloroplast. Once imported by the chloroplast, the transit peptide is cleaved releasing the mature enzyme. As expected, introduction of the EPSPS transit peptide to other protein sequences results in the importation of the fusion protein by the chloroplast. [Pg.253]

Proteins that are destined to be secreted or to end up as transmembrane proteins are synthesized with an N-terminal signal peptide. Signal peptides are highly hydrophobic sequences of variable length. Proteins synthesized with signal peptides are termed preproteins. For example, insulin is a secreted protein. It is therefore synthesized as a preprotein. It is also synthesized in inactive form a proprotein. Insulin as initially synthesized is, in consequence, a preproprotein. [Pg.175]

Preprotein a protein synthesized with the N-terminal signal peptide targeting it to a membrane site. [Pg.398]

The two complexes that import cytosolic proteins through the mitochondrial inner membrane, TIM22 and TIM23 split the import pathways of hydrophobic inner membrane proteins from that of presequence-containing preproteins (Fig. 1). [Pg.51]
