Example sentences for: preprotein

How can you use “preprotein” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Both SecB and the preprotein provide binding sites for SecA, a peripheral membrane ATPase.
SecA targets the preprotein to the membranous translocase complex composed of SecY, SecE, SecG, SecD, SecF, and YajC.
Export of many, but not all, secretory proteins is dependent on interaction with SecB, a cytoplasmic chaperone that maintains the preprotein in a loosely folded conformation competent for translocation.
The signal sequence is crucial for efficient translocation; mutations in the signal sequence significantly reduce export of the preprotein and complete deletions of the signal sequence eliminate essentially all export [ 5 6 7 8 ] . Selection for extragenic suppressors of such export defective preproteins led to the identification of the prl alleles of secY ( prlA ), secE ( prlG ), secA ( prlD ), and more recently secG ( prlH ) [ 6 9 10 11 ] . Early hypotheses predicted that the Prl suppressors function by expanded or altered interactions with signal sequences, facilitating recognition of mutant as well as wild type signal sequences [ 6 ] .
SecB binds portions of the mature secretory protein [ 14 15 16 17 18 ] , and SecA would bind to the SecB-precursor complex by virtue of its ability to bind SecB [ 19 20 ] as well as the preprotein [ 21 22 23 ] . Thus, SecA-mediated targeting of the preprotein to translocase would occur.
