A conserved cleavage‐site motif in chloroplast transit peptides
Open accessAbstract
A collection of 32 stroma‐targeting chloroplast transit peptides with known cleavage sites have been analysed in terms of amino acid preferences in the vicinity of the processing site. A loosely conserved consensus motif (Val/Ile)‐X‐(Ala/Cys)↓Ala is found in the majority of the transit peptides. About 30% of the sequences have a perfect match to the consensus. When such a match is found, there is a 90% probability that it specifies the correct cleavage site.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
