SecA – a new twist in the tail [PDF]
A paper published in this issue of the Journal of Bacteriology (D. Huber, M. Jamshad, R. Hanmer, D. Schibich, K. Döring, I. Marcomini, G. Kramer, and B. Bukau, J Bacteriol 199:e0622-16, 2017, https://doi.org/10.1128/JB.00622-16) provides us with a timely

ABSTRACT Marine plastispheres represent dynamic microhabitats where microorganisms colonise plastic debris and interact. Metaproteomics has provided novel insights into the metabolic processes within these communities; however, the early metabolic interactions driving the plastisphere formation remain unclear.

A single copy of SecYEG is sufficient for preprotein translocation [PDF]
The heterotrimeric SecYEG complex comprises a protein-conducting channel in the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane. SecYEG functions together with the motor protein SecA in preprotein translocation. Here, we have addressed the functional oligomeric state of SecYEG when actively engaged in preprotein translocation.

Bacterial Signal Peptides- Navigating the Journey of Proteins
In 1971, Blobel proposed the first statement of the Signal Hypothesis which suggested that proteins have amino-terminal sequences that dictate their export and localization in the cell.

Molecular Mechanism of GTPase Activation at the Signal Recognition Particle (SRP) RNA Distal End [PDF]
The signal recognition particle (SRP) RNA is a universally conserved and essential component of the SRP that mediates the co-translational targeting of proteins to the correct cellular membrane.

Access to synthetic compounds in the bacterial cytoplasm is hindered by the selective cell envelope, particularly in Gram‐negative bacteria like Escherichia coli. This study systematically compares three outer membrane proteins (OMPs) and their engineered variants, highlighting the potential of OMP engineering for the permeabilisation of the outer ...

Distinct Requirements for Tail-Anchored Membrane Protein Biogenesis in
Tail-anchored membrane proteins (TAMPs) are a distinct subset of inner membrane proteins (IMPs) characterized by a single C-terminal transmembrane domain (TMD) that is responsible for both targeting and anchoring.

Taming membranes: functional immobilization of biological membranes in hydrogels. [PDF]
Single molecule studies on membrane proteins embedded in their native environment are hampered by the intrinsic difficulty of immobilizing elastic and sensitive biological membranes without interfering with protein activity.

Fidelity of Cotranslational Protein Targeting by the Signal Recognition Particle [PDF]
Accurate folding, assembly, localization, and maturation of newly synthesized proteins are essential to all cells and require high fidelity in the protein biogenesis machineries that mediate these processes.

The dogma on the heat shock DnaK chaperone establishes its fundamental cytosolic role in folding and unfolding intracellular proteins. This study reveals its tight association with the flagellin, its secretion, likely through the flagellum apparatus, its insertion into a growing flagellum filament and a novel extracellular ATP‐independent chaperone ...
