Abstract excerpt
The beta-subunit of the signal recognition particle receptor (SRbeta), a member of the Ras family of small molecular weight GTPases, is involved in the targeting of nascent polypeptide chains to the protein translocation machinery in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. We purified SRbeta from an expressing strain of Escherichia coli and investigated the properties of the isolated GTPase. We find that, unlike...
