Sec secretory proteins are distinguished from cytoplasmic ones by N-terminal signal peptides with multiple roles during post-translational translocation. They contribute to preprotein targeting to the translocase by slowing down folding, binding receptors and triggering secretion. While signal peptides get cleaved after translocation, mature domains traffic further and/or fold into functional states. How signal peptides delay folding temporarily, to keep mature domains translocation-competent, remains unclear. We previously reported that the foldon landscape of the periplasmic prolyl-peptidyl isomerase is altered by its signal peptide and mature domain features. Here, we reveal that the dynamics of signal pepti... More
