Abstract: | Bacterial proteins are typically sorted to subcellular regions with distinct physical characteristics that serve as cellular 'addresses', but many proteins are evidently sorted to specific areas that lack any apparent unique identity. Recent work in Bacillus subtilis suggests that such proteins may be localized by interacting with extracellular domains of proteins in an adjacent cellular compartment. |
