Abstract excerpt
Proteins destined for export across the cytoplasmic membrane via the post-translational Sec-dependent route have to be maintained in a largely unfolded state within the cytoplasm. In sharp contrast, only proteins that have folded into a native-like state within the cytoplasm are competent for export via the twin arginine translocation (Tat) pathway. Proteins that contain disulfide bonds, such as scFv antibody...
