Distinct Requirements for Tail-Anchored Membrane Protein Biogenesis in Escherichia coli

Distinct Requirements for Tail-Anchored Membrane Protein Biogenesis in Escherichia coli

A subset of membrane proteins is targeted to and inserted into the membrane via a hydrophobic transmembrane domain (TMD) that is positioned at the very C terminus of the protein. The biogenesis of these so-called tail-anchored proteins (TAMPs) has been studied in detail in eukaryotic cells. Various...
