In both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, a large number of proteins that are synthesised in cytoplasmic compartments, are transported across membranes in order to reach their final destination and fulfil their function. Because of the hydrophobic nature of membranes and the necessity to maintain their integrity, complex and strictly organised protein translocation machinery have evolved. ... Zie: Summary
