I'm not quite sure how to ask this question, but what is the
significance of a phenylalanine as the c-terminal aa in a
given protein, specifically a lipoprotein? I have heard that this
is a common "signature", and it does seem to show up in a many of the
sequences that I have seen which contain a putative lipoprotein leader
sequence. Does anyone know the reason for this? What is the function
(if any)?
Thanks!
