ing that ABCA4 acts as a transporter of NrPE [63].Following regeneration of rhodopsin with 11-cis-retinal,ATR is released from the ‘exit site’ of opsin into the disclumen, where a proportion of it reacts with a PE mole-cule to form NrPE. The selectivity of ECD2 for ATRsuggests that the role o[r]

Other multi-spanning proteins have also been sug-gested to insert spontaneously, including PsbS andELIP2. In addition, the SecE subunit of the Sectranslocase and the Hcf106 ⁄ Tha4 subunits of the Tattranslocase appear to use this spontaneous insertionmechanism [78].ConclusionsIt is clear that[r]
