Inhibition of purified Escherichia coli leader peptidase by the leader (signal) peptide of bacteriophage M13 procoat.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The leader peptide of bacteriophage M13 procoat inhibited the cleavage of M13 procoat or pre-maltose-binding protein by purified Escherichia coli leader peptidase. This finding confirms inferences that the leader is the primary site of enzyme recognition and suggests a rationale for the rapid hydrolysis of leader peptides in vivo.
