| UniProt functional annotation for Q8U051 | |||
| UniProt code: Q8U051. |
| Organism: | Pyrococcus furiosus (strain ATCC 43587 / DSM 3638 / JCM 8422 / Vc1). | |
| Taxonomy: | Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Thermococci; Thermococcales; Thermococcaceae; Pyrococcus. | |
| 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 membrane {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00004413, ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00920}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00004413, ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00920}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00004413, ECO:0000256|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00920}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00920}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the GTP-binding SRP family. FtsY subfamily. {ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00920}. | |
