Chloroplast transit peptides often require downstream unstructured sequence in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Caspari, O. D.
Show abstract
1The N-terminal sequence stretch that defines subcellular targeting for most nuclear encoded chloroplast proteins is usually considered identical to the sequence that is cleaved upon import. Yet here this study shows that for nine out of ten tested Chlamydomonas chloroplast transit peptides, additional sequence past the cleavage site is required to enable chloroplast targeting. Using replacements of native post-cleavage residues with alternative sequences points to a role for unstructured sequence at mature protein N-termini.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
