Signal Peptidases

Biology Professor (Twitter: @DrWhitneyHolden) teaches you all about SIGNAL PEPTIDASES: what they are, what they do, why they potentially make a good antibiotic target, and more. SIGNAL PEPTIDE PEPTIDASES, a different but related type of protease, is also described.

Dear Dr. Holden, I've just found your channel and subscribed; your explanation is rich, excellent! A few hours ago, I read about a research concerning HSV and other viruses and their roles in Alzheimer's disease. Then I remembered that herpes viruses can induce contiguous cells to fuse and HSV can reach the brain. The following hypothesis then came to my mind: could different signal peptidases from cells that were temporarily fused, make inadvertent cleavings, creating sequences that mimic a nuclear localization signal? Please let me know your opinion on this possibility. Best regards, Salvador.
