Abstract excerpt
Kinetic control of macromolecular interactions plays key roles in biological regulation. An example of such control occurs in cotranslational protein targeting by the signal recognition particle (SRP), during which the SRP RNA and the cargo both accelerate complex assembly between the SRP and SRP receptor FtsY 10(2)-fold. The molecular mechanism underlying these rate accelerations was unclear. Here we show that a...
