FIGURE 5:

Membrane protein integration via YidC is restricted to membrane proteins with small periplasmic loops. (A) Predicted topology of YidC. The cleavage site for PK is indicated. The YidC-MPF corresponds to the first two TMs and the connecting periplasmic loop (Koch et al., 2002). (B) YidC was synthesized in presence of SRP, FtsY, and liposomes/proteoliposomes as indicated. Protease protection was analyzed in the absence or presence of 600 nM SecA. Full-length YidC and YidC-MPFs are indicated. (C) Predicted topology of YidCΔ307 (Deitermann et al., 2005). (D) Protease protection of YidCΔ307. The lower, 13-kDa MPF was used for calculating integration rates. (E) Protease protection of YidCΔ307 in the presence of proteoliposomes containing wild-type YidC or the YidC(I361S) mutant.
