Evidence Supporting an Antimicrobial Origin of Targeting Peptides to Endosymbiotic Organelles

Evidence Supporting an Antimicrobial Origin of Targeting Peptides to Endosymbiotic Organelles

Mitochondria and chloroplasts emerged from primary endosymbiosis. Most proteins of the endosymbiont were subsequently expressed in the nucleo-cytosol of the host and organelle-targeted via the acquisition of <i>N</i>-terminal presequences, whose evolutionary origin remains enigmatic. Usi...
