What components constitute the translocation machinery (translocon)? How is it assembled and what are its structural characteristics? How are the substrates recognized and selected? What are the ...

triggers release of the nascent chain and its insertion into a protein conducting channel (‘translocon’). Besides challenging the prevailing view of signal sequence recognition, the new ...

The translocon machineries, known as the TOC (translocon at the outer chloroplast membrane) and TIC (translocon at the inner chloroplast membrane) complexes, provide the route for preprotein ...
