Function Signal-recognition-particle (SRP) assembly has a crucial role in targeting secretory proteins to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. SRP is required for the cotranslational protein translocation for ER import and preferentially recognizes strongly hydrophobic signal sequences. It is involved in targeting the nascent chain-ribosome (RNC) complex to the ER and is proposed to participate in the arrest of nascent chain elongation during membrane targeting. SRP68 binds the 7S RNA, SRP72 binds to this complex subsequently.
