UniProt functional annotation for Q9WZ40

UniProt code: Q9WZ40.

Organism: Thermotoga maritima (strain ATCC 43589 / DSM 3109 / JCM 10099 / NBRC 100826 / MSB8).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Thermotogae; Thermotogales; Thermotogaceae; Thermotoga.
 
Function: Involved in targeting and insertion of nascent membrane proteins into the cytoplasmic membrane. Acts as a receptor for the complex formed by the signal recognition particle (SRP) and the ribosome-nascent chain (RNC). {ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00920}.
 
Subunit: Part of the signal recognition particle protein translocation system, which is composed of SRP and FtsY. {ECO:0000256|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00920}.
Subcellular location: Cell inner membrane {ECO:0000256|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00920}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000256|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00920}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00920}.
