Abstract

Newly synthesized proteins are delivered to the apoplast via conventional or unconventional protein secretion in eukaryotes. In plants, proteins are secreted to perform various biological functions. Conserved from yeast to mammals, both conventional and unconventional protein secretion pathways have been revealed in plants. In the conventional protein secretion pathway, secretory proteins with a signal peptide are translocated into the endoplasmic reticulum and transported to the extracellular region via the endomembrane system. On the contrary, unconventional protein secretion pathways have been demonstrated to mediate the secretion of the leaderless secretory proteins. In this chapter, we summarize the updated findings and provide a comprehensive overview of protein secretion pathways in plants.
