The SRP receptor FtsY, which is involved in targeting and translocating membrane protein, is generally composed of the N-terminal domain and the NG domain. Although FtsY was highly homologous in the composition of amino acids and functions among microbes, the different mechanism in the location of FtsYs from different bacteria such asS. coelicolorandE.coliwere discovered in this study by laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM) in vivo and molecular techniques in vitro. The results revealed that the N-terminal domain ofS.coelicolorFtsY was indispensable for FtsY’s anchoring membrane, and while the A domain ofE.coliFtsY was dispensable. Moreover, the A domain ofE. coliFtsY might promote itself to bind the membrane depending on the location images and Western blotting.
