Subunit: Part of the signal recognition particle protein translocation system, which is composed of SRP and FtsY. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00920}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00920}.
Ptm: Sensitive to endogenous proteolytic cleavage between residues 18 and 19 and between residues 86 and 87.
Similarity: Belongs to the GTP-binding SRP family. FtsY subfamily. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00920}.
