A Protein from a Parasitic Microorganism, Rickettsia prowazekii, Can Cleave the Signal Sequences of Proteins Targeting Mitochondria

The obligate intracellular parasitic bacteria rickettsiae are more closely related to mitochondria than any other microbes investigated to date. A rickettsial putative peptidase (RPP) was found to resemble the α and β subunits of mitochondrial processing peptidase (MPP), which cleaves the transport...
