DESCRIPTION

Also known as CFTSY_ARATH, CPFTSY, FTSY. Signal recognition particle receptor protein. Binds GTP specifically. The GTPase activity is inhibited by the N-terminus of the protein until binding to the thylakoid membrane. Activates the GTPase activity of FFC/cpSRP54 when bound to the cpSRP complex. Required for light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-binding protein (LHCP) integration into thylakoids. Might be also functionally linked to the Sec translocation machinery. Monomer. Interacts with FFC/cpSRP54, a component of the cpSRP complex, composed of a FFC/cpSRP54 monomer and a CAO/cpSRP43 dimer. The complex with FFC/cpSRP54 is formed when both proteins are bound with GTP.
