Abstract excerpt
The twin-arginine translocation (Tat) system transports folded proteins across energized biological membranes in bacteria, plastids, and plant mitochondria. In Escherichia coli, the three membrane proteins TatA, TatB and TatC associate to enable Tat transport. While TatB and TatC together form complexes that bind Tat-dependently transported proteins, the TatA component is responsible for the permeabilization of...
