THis is in response to a posting by Derek. My understanding of the current
understanding of protein targeting is that specificity is mediated entirely
by protein (rather than mRNA) sequences. In other words, the localization of a
protein is governed by the presence/absence of a signal sequence/mitochondrial
localization/vacuolar/chloroplast/etc. and that there is a single biochemical
class of cytoplasmic ribosomes. Am I wrong? If I am wrong, what is the eviden
ce that suggests I am wrong? Is there clear evidence that untranslated mRNA
sequences are actually involved in protein localization? What is this evidence
?
