... need other factors, apart from theirmature amino acid sequence, in order to fold efficiently andrapidly into the native form in vivo. The nature of thesefactors, whether they are found in their ... [18,19]. The extremelyinefficient folding of PCI in vitro [18], together with the presence of the above-mentioned long pro-sequences,suggest a possible involvement of them in the in vivo folding of ... PCI.Here, using different protein variants, we have investi-gated the role of both pro-sequences in the in vitro refolding of PCI, together with studies of the in uence of the N-terminal pro-region...
