Quasi-continuous cotranslational compaction and folding of a multidomain protein

Most proteins start to fold cotranslationally as they come off the ribosome. So far, studies of cotranslational folding have focused mainly on small, single-domain proteins. Here, we have used Force Profile Analysis to study the cotranslational folding of Firefly Luciferase, a complex 550-residue protein composed of an...

Signal peptidase complexes set species-specific rules for signal peptide cleavage

Protein secretion is essential for cell function and begins when signal peptides direct nascent proteins into the secretory pathway, where they are cleaved by the signal peptidase complex (SPC). Although this pathway is highly conserved, signal peptides do not always function efficiently across species, and the molecul...
