Bacterial sec-independent translocation protein mttA/Hcf106
TAIR Computational Description
Bacterial sec-independent translocation protein mttA/Hcf106;(source:Araport11)
TAIR Curator Summary
Small, dynamic subunit of the Tat-system that is believed to be the active component during target protein translocation. The twin-arginine translocase (Tat)system mediates the transport of already-folded proteins across membranes.
TAIR Short Description
Bacterial sec-independent translocation protein mttA/Hcf106
Part of the twin-arginine translocation (Tat) system that transports large folded proteins containing a characteristic twin-arginine motif in their signal peptide across the thylakoid membrane. Involved in delta pH-dependent protein transport required for chloroplast development, especially thylakoid membrane formation. TATC and TATB mediate precursor recognition, whereas TATA facilitates translocation (By similarity).
