Abstract: | Recent observations confirm the participation of acid phospholipids in protein translocation. The hypothesis proposed coupled protein translocation with transmembrane movement of acid phospholipids, their metabolism as a precursor of cell envelope components and recycling. These factors ensure the unidirectional vector value of the secretion, restoration of the membrane site competent for protein translocation and its self-organization. |
