Abstract excerpt
The signal recognition particle (SRP) plays a central role in directing the export of nascent proteins from the cytoplasm of mammalian cells. An SRP-dependent translocation machinery in bacteria has not been demonstrated in previous genetic and biochemical studies. Sequence comparisons, however, have identified (i) a gene in Escherichia coli (ffh) whose product is homologous to the 54-kilodalton subunit (SRP54)...
