Structural highlights
Function
[TATD_ECOLI] Part of the twin-arginine translocation (Tat) system that transports large folded proteins containing a characteristic twin-arginine motif in their signal peptide across membranes. Although TatD is not required for export activity, it is a central component of a quality control system that is linked to the Tat translocation system. May act by degrading wild-type pre-protein molecules that are misfolded. Shows magnesium-dependent DNase activity.[1] [2]
