More | efficient protein targeting requires heterodimerization and activation of the GTPases present in the SRP receptor FtsY and the SRP protein Ffh. FtsY also forms a homodimer at the membrane using the same interaction surface as the heterodimer. Homodimerization adds to the complex interaction landscape of protein targeting. Biochemical analysis and integrative modeling suggest that the homodimer employs the same interface as the heterodimer. Ffh does not homodimerize while FtsY is able to form a homodimer. FtsY homodimer and FtsY/Ffh heterodimer share a similar interface | Escherichia coli |

additional information | efficient protein targeting requires heterodimerization and activation of the GTPases present in the SRP receptor FtsY and the SRP protein Ffh. FtsY also forms a homodimer at the membrane, in vitro and in vivo, using the same interaction surface as the heterodimer. Homodimerization adds to the complex interaction landscape of protein targeting. SRP binding to the receptor occurs by heterodimerization of the highly conserved NG domains of Ffh and FtsY, respectively, resulting in the formation of the so-called targeting complex. A dimerization-induced conformational switch of the nucleotide gamma-phosphate is conserved in Escherichia coli, filling an important gap in SRP GTPase activation.
