The induction of recombinant protein bodies in different subcellular compartments reveals a cryptic plastid-targeting signal in the 27 kD γ-zein sequence

Naturally-occurring storage proteins such as zeins are used as fusion partners for recombinant proteins because they induce the formation of ectopic storage organelles known as protein bodies (PBs) where the proteins are stabilized by intermolecular interactions and the formation of disulfide bonds....
