UniProt functional annotation for O07347

UniProt code: O07347.

Organism: Thermus aquaticus.
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Thermales; Thermaceae; Thermus.
 
Function: Involved in targeting and insertion of nascent membrane proteins into the cytoplasmic membrane. Binds to the hydrophobic signal sequence of the ribosome-nascent chain (RNC) as it emerges from the ribosomes. The SRP-RNC complex is then targeted to the cytoplasmic membrane where it interacts with the SRP receptor FtsY. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00306}.
 
Subunit: Part of the signal recognition particle protein translocation system, which is composed of SRP and FtsY. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00306}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00306}. Note=The SRP-RNC complex is targeted to the cytoplasmic membrane. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00306}.
Domain: Composed of three domains: the N-terminal N domain, which is responsible for interactions with the ribosome, the central G domain, which binds GTP, and the C-terminal M domain, which binds the RNA and the signal sequence of the RNC. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00306, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10426959, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14501130, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9002524}.
Similarity: Belongs to the GTP-binding SRP family. SRP54 subfamily. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00306}.
