Sequences beyond the cleavage site influence signal peptide function.
The earliest events in protein secretion include targeting to and translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. To dissect the mechanism by which signal sequences mediate translocation in eukaryotes, we are examining the behavior of fusion proteins and deletion mutants in cell-free systems. We demonstrate that the protein domain being translocated can have profound impact on the effi...
متن کاملSPEPlip: the detection of signal peptide and lipoprotein cleavage sites
SUMMARY SPEPlip is a neural network-based method, trained and tested on a set of experimentally derived signal peptides from eukaryotes and prokaryotes. SPEPlip identifies the presence of sorting signals and predicts their cleavage sites. The accuracy in cross-validation is similar to that of other available programs: the rate of false positives is 4 and 6%, for prokaryotes and eukaryotes respe...
متن کاملSignal peptide cleavage in the E . coli membrane
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C. Canada V6T 1Z3 Abstract Our laboratory uses x-ray crystallography and other structural biology techniques in the analysis of bacterial membrane proteins and membrane protein complexes. We are particularly interested in bacterial protein secretion machinery, including the Sec-dependent translocation...
متن کاملStructural analysis of hepatitis C virus core-E1 signal peptide and requirements for cleavage of the genotype 3a signal sequence by signal peptide peptidase.
The maturation of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein requires proteolytic processing by two host proteases: signal peptidase (SP) and the intramembrane-cleaving protease signal peptide peptidase (SPP). Previous work on HCV genotype 1a (GT1a) and GT2a has identified crucial residues required for efficient signal peptide processing by SPP, which in turn has an effect on the production of in...
متن کاملThe Drosophila Crumbs signal peptide is unusually long and is a substrate for signal peptide peptidase.
N-terminal signal sequences mediate nascent protein targeting to and protein insertion into the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. They are typically 15-30 amino acid residues long with a core hydrophobic region flanked by an N-terminal (n-) and a C-terminal region. Following cleavage by signal peptidase, some of the resulting signal peptides are further processed by signal peptide peptidas...
