"...the signal peptides are usually between 15
and 30 amino acids long (approximately 10% of the
length of the precursor (primary source 105)) and membrane and periplasmic
proteins constitute 10-15% of the protein mass of
the cell (primary source 119), degradation of signal peptides amounts to
turnover of perhaps 1% of the total cellular protein per
generation, a significant but minor fraction of the rapidly
degraded pool of polypeptides." |
