Abstract excerpt
The nascent polypeptide-associated complex (NAC) co-translationally screens all nascent proteins and regulates their access to signal recognition particle (SRP) to ensure the fidelity of protein targeting to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). However, the mechanism by which NAC prevents the mistargeting of nascent mitochondrial proteins remains unclear. Here, we identify a molecular switch in NAC that allows its...
