Signal recognition particle prevents N-terminal processing of bacterial membrane proteins

Bacterial proteins are synthesized with formyl-methionine in their N-terminus, but most of them are co-translationally deformylated. Here, the authors show that inner-membrane proteins are protected from deformylation by the binding of the signal recognition particle (SRP) during translation.
