The signal recognition particle and related small cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein particles.
Recently, a number of novel small cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein particles have been identified that comprise RNA and protein subunits related to the signal recognition particle (SRP). Here we discuss the latest results on the structure and functions of SRP together with the structures and putative functions of the novel SRP-related ribonucleoprotein particles.
