title: YidC--an evolutionary conserved device for the assembly of energy-transducing membrane protein complexes.
abstract: Members of the YidC/Oxa1/Alb3 membrane protein family are multifunctional mediators of membrane protein integration, folding and assembly into large complexes. Their evolutionary conserved and physiologically important role appears to relate to the assembly of major energy-transducing membrane protein complexes.
