Abstract excerpt
The twin arginine (Tat) secretion pathway allows the translocation of folded proteins across the cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria. Tat-specific signal peptides contain a characteristic amino acid motif ((S/T)RRXFLK) including two highly conserved consecutive arginine residues that are thought to be involved in the recognition of the signal peptides by the Tat translocase. Here, we have analyzed the specificity of...
