abstract：:Translocation of folded proteins by the Tat system of Escherichia coli is believed to rely on the presence of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and the negatively charged phospholipids cardiolipin (CL) and phosphatidylglycerol (PG). Here, we show that while PE is indeed essential for activity, the Tat system is fully func...
