SRP-ribosome complex then docks to the SRP-receptor and channel ( "translocon").

-
The αN1 helix of the receptor is freely accessible to promote interactions with the membrane and / or the translocon, while the equivalent region in SRP54 is not accessible because of its vicinity with the SRP RNA.

-
At the membrane, upon reciprocal GTP hydrolysis the SRP•SR complex dissociates triggering transfer of the ribosome-nascent chain to the translocon.

-
These "short" receptors, nevertheless, efficiently target the ribosome-nascent chain-SRP complex to the translocon, raising the question of what are the structural determinants for the membrane interaction.

-
There is growing evidence of direct interaction between the SR and the translocon at the membrane in both bacterial and eukaryotic systems In contrast to their eukaryotic homologues, which are heterodimers containing a separate membrane anchoring subunit bacterial and archaeal receptors are composed of just the SR core protein, FtsY.

In Pfu-FtsY, the N-terminus of helix αN1 is positively charged and could constitute the primary membrane interaction site supporting initial attachment of the targeting complex to the membrane and / or interaction with the membrane-embedded translocon.
