Signal Peptide Hydrophobicity Modulates Interaction with the Twin-Arginine Translocase

ABSTRACT The general secretory pathway (Sec) and twin-arginine translocase (Tat) operate in parallel to export proteins across the cytoplasmic membrane of prokaryotes and the thylakoid membrane of plant chloroplasts. Substrates are targeted to their respective machineries by N-terminal signal peptid...
