 Signal peptide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A signal peptide is a short (3-60 amino acids long) peptide chain that directs the post-translational transport of a protein.
Signal peptides may also be called targeting signals, signal sequences, transit peptides, or localization signals.
The signal peptide that directs to the mitochondrial matrix has a sequence consisting of an alternating pattern with a few hydrophobic amino acids and a few plus-charged amino acids form.

 Genome Biology | Full text | How is the human signal peptide recognized?
The crystal structure of human SRP54M from the signal recognition particle (SRP) reveals a homodimer interaction, which may be a model for the way signal sequences on nascent proteins recognize and activate the SRP.
The signal recognition particle (SRP) machinery performs three jobs in the cell: it captures an actively transcribing ribosome; links it to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane; and then threads the nascent protein chain into the ER for processing and transport.
In this paper, the authors describe the atomic-resolution structure of the M domain of human SRP54, a protein believed to bind the signal peptide directly.

SPP and potential eukaryotic homologs represent a family of aspartic proteases that promote intramembrane proteolysis to release biologically important peptides.
Signal peptide peptidase (SPP) catalyses intramembrane proteolysis of some signal peptides after they have been cleaved from a preprotein.
In humans, SPP activity is required to generate signal sequence-derived human lymphocyte antigen-E epitopes that are recognised by the immune system, and are required in the processing of the hepatitis C virus core protein.
