Type

  • mesh:Descriptor

Definition

  • Protein sorting signals that target proteins to PEROXISOMES. A C-terminal tripeptide sequence that occurs in proteins targeted to peroxisomes and characterized by (SERINE or ALANINE or CYSTEINE)-(LYSINE or ARGININE or HISTIDINE)-(LEUCINE or ALANINE) that occurs primarily in peroxisome matrix proteins. SERINE-LYSINE-LEUCINE(SKL)is the most common sequence. An N-terminal nonapeptide sequence that occurs in proteins targeted to peroxisomes and characterized by (ARGININE or LYSINE)-(LEUCINE or VALINE or ISOLEUCINE)-XXXXX-(HISTIDINE or GLUTAMINE)-(LEUCINE or ALANINE or PHENYLALANINE), where X can be any amino acid.
