Abstract excerpt
We report the identification of the proteins encoded by the mttABC operon (formerly yigTUW), which mediate a novel Sec-independent membrane targeting and translocation system in Escherichia coli that interacts with cofactor-containing redox proteins having a S/TRRXFLK "twin arginine" leader motif...
