Abstract excerpt
Proper membrane insertion is crucial for the structure and function of membrane proteins in all cells. The YidC insertase plays an essential role in this process, but the molecular mechanism of YidC-mediated insertion remains unknown. Here we track the stepwise movement of Pf3 coat through YidC by obtaining a series of translational arrested intermediates, and investigate them by thiol cross-linking. We show that...
