== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/SRP54_ECOLI SRP54_ECOLI] Involved in targeting and insertion of nascent membrane proteins into the cytoplasmic membrane. Binds to the hydrophobic signal sequence of the ribosome-nascent chain (RNC) as it emerges from the ribosomes. The SRP-RNC complex is then targeted to the cytoplasmic membrane where it interacts with the SRP receptor FtsY. Interaction with FtsY leads to the transfer of the RNC complex to the Sec translocase for insertion into the membrane, the hydrolysis of GTP by both Ffh and FtsY, and the dissociation of the SRP-FtsY complex into the individual components.<ref>PMID:2171778</ref> <ref>PMID:1279430</ref> <ref>PMID:1331806</ref> <ref>PMID:9305630</ref> <ref>PMID:11735405</ref> <ref>PMID:11741850</ref> <ref>PMID:15140892</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
X-ray crystallography of biologically important RNA molecules has been hampered by technical challenges, including finding heavy-atom derivatives to obtain high-quality experimental phase information. Existing techniques have drawbacks, limiting the rate at which important new structures are solved. To address this, we have developed a reliable means to localize heavy atoms specifically to virtually any RNA. By solving the crystal structures of thirteen variants of the G*U wobble pair cation binding motif, we have identified a version that when inserted into an RNA helix introduces a high-occupancy cation binding site suitable for phasing. This "directed soaking" strategy can be integrated fully into existing RNA crystallography methods, potentially increasing the rate at which important structures are solved and facilitating routine solving of structures using Cu-Kalpha radiation. This method already has been used to solve several crystal structures.

A general strategy to solve the phase problem in RNA crystallography.,Keel AY, Rambo RP, Batey RT, Kieft JS Structure. 2007 Jul;15(7):761-72. PMID:17637337<ref>PMID:17637337</ref>
