Abstract

Presequences play an important role in protein import into mitochondria-like organelles.

Here we investigated the hydrogenosomal proteins of Trichomonas vaginalis and suggest that several hydrogenosomal presequences probably evolved from pre-existing sequences that were thereafter modified.
