Protein secretion: getting folded proteins across membranes.
Work on metalloprotein export in bacteria, and protein import into chloroplasts, has converged in the recognition of a novel membrane translocation system with two fascinating properties: it is driven energetically by the transmembrane pH gradient, and it is capable of translocating folded proteins.
