Abstract excerpt
Signal recognition particle (SRP) targets proteins for co-translational insertion through or into the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Mammalian SRP slows nascent chain elongation by the ribosome during targeting in vitro. This 'elongation arrest' activity requires the SRP9/14 subunit of the particle and interactions of the C-terminus of SRP14. We have purified SRP from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and demonstrated...
