Bacterial targeting[edit]

This section is woefully inadequate. Some things that I can't flesh out right now, but that should be mentioned (at the very least), include:

SRP recognition vs. secB recognition of signal sequence
The SecYEG translocon
Targeting to the periplasm and outer membrane in gram negative bacteria

Integration via YidC and the Tat translocase are also missing. The whole section needs to be rewritten. (88.72.250.229 (talk) 23:37, 17 November 2008 (UTC))[reply]

NES and NLS should not be merged to this entry[edit]

I don't think that the NES and NLS entries should be merged to this site. Transportation in and out of the nucleus is a reversible process, which is tightly regulated. In this entry "protein targeting" is defined as a processes which transport a protein to its appropriate position, a process which is irriversible. I don't think that all active transport of proteins should regarded as proteins targeting. User:Hededam 16:41, 23 Nov 2006

Do not merge. I agree with Hededam's reasoning. Nuclear proteins are often regulated by changing their localization in response to a signal, which is a pretty big topic to include in a merged article and doesn't really apply to general protein targeting. Josh 08:19, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"errors can lead to diseases."[edit]

A list would be interesting. 76.111.8.39 (talk) 19:16, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cotranslational translocation[edit]

Has anybody informations about cotranslational translocation in bacteria? I know that they do it also but cannot find informations about the machanism. I think it would be nice to mention this fact also in the article. I would change it by myself but my english is not good enough to feel comfortable by this thought...
