Transit Peptides Often Require Downstream Unstructured Sequence for Efficient Chloroplast Import in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

The 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 eight out of ten tested Chlamydomonas chloroplast transit peptides, signifi...
