Abstract

The prokaryotic cytoplasmic membrane not only maintains cell integrity and forms a barrier between the cell and its outside environment, but is also the location for essential biochemical processes. Microbial model systems provide excellent bases for the study of fundamental problems in membrane biology including signal transduction, chemotaxis, solute transport and, as will be the topic of this review, energy metabolism. Bacterial respiration requires a diverse array of complex, multi-subunit, cofactor-containing redox enzymes, many of which are embedded within, or located on the extracellular side of, the membrane. The biosynthesis of these enzymes therefore requires carefully controlled expression, assembly, targeting and transport processes. Here, focusing on the molybdenum-containing respiratory enzymes central to anaerobic respiration in , recent descriptions of a chaperone-mediated ‘proofreading’ system involved in coordinating assembly and export of complex extracellular enzymes will be discussed. The paradigm proofreading chaperones are members of a large group of proteins known as the TorD family, and recent research in this area highlights common principles that underpin biosynthesis of both exported and non-exported respiratory enzymes.
