Abstract excerpt
Signal recognition particle (SRP) guides secretory proteins to biological membranes in all organisms. Assembly of the large domain of mammalian SRP requires binding of SRP19 prior to the binding of protein SRP54 to SRP RNA. The crystal structure of the ternary complex reveals the parallel arrangement of RNA helices 6 and 8, a bridging of the helices via a hydrogen bonded A149-A201 pair and protein SRP19, and two...
