Abstract excerpt
Protein targeting by the signal recognition particle (SRP) pathway requires the interaction of two homologous GTPases that reciprocally regulate each other's GTPase activity, the SRP signal peptide- binding subunit (SRP54) and the SRP receptor alpha-subunit (SRalpha). The GTPase domain of both proteins abuts a unique 'N domain' that appears to facilitate external ligand binding. To examine the relationship...
