Abstract excerpt
In mammalian cells, the signal recognition particle (SRP) receptor is required for the targeting of nascent secretory proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. We have identified the Saccharomyces cerevisiae homologue of the alpha-subunit of the SRP receptor (SR alpha) and characterized its function in vivo. S. cerevisiae SR alpha is a 69-kDa peripheral membrane protein that is 32% identical (54%...
