My group works on mechanisms of protein transport in bacteria. Since I started my independent career in 1996, I have been interested in understanding how bacteria assemble the complex metalloenzymes that are essential for respiration. My work, alongside that of colleagues in the UK and Canada, helped to define the twin arginine protein transport (Tat) system in the model organism Escherichia coli (Sargent et al. 1998; Weiner et al.1998). The Tat pathway transports folded proteins across the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane and substrates are recognised by the Tat machinery because they have an N-terminal signal peptide containing a conserved twin-arginine motif (Berks 1996). There are some 28 or so Tat substrate proteins in E. coli, and approximately two-thirds of them bind redox cofactors non-
