Abstract:
Protein SRP19 is an important component of the signal recognition particle (SRP) as it promotes assembly of protein SRP54 with SRP RNA and recognizes a tetranucleotide loop. Structural features and RNA binding activities of SRP19 of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Archaeoglobus fulgidus were investigated. An updated alignment of SRP19 sequences predicted three conserved regions and two alpha-helices. With Af-SRP RNA the Af-SRP54 protein assembled into an A. fulgidus SRP which remained intact for many hours. Stable complexes were formed between Af-SRP19 and truncated SRP RNAs, including a 36-residue fragment representing helix 6 of A. fulgidus SRP RNA.

Sec61 protein conducting channel
In eukaryotes, the translocon complex comprises a core heterotrimeric translocator channel called the Sec61 complex. This channel includes three transmembrane proteins, Sec61α, Sec61β, and Sec61γ, and is the largest subunit of the translocon complex.
