Signaling peptides are mainly synthesized as prepropeptides. First their signal sequence for secretion is cleaved upon entry into the endoplasmic reticulum. Second, post-translational modifications of small peptides and the formation of disulfide bonds of cysteine-rich peptide take place within the Golgi network. The final processing to form the mature peptide can occur in the vesicular transport system or finally in the apoplast and involves proteolytic cleavage, hydroxylation, and arabinosylation
