YidC assists the stepwise and stochastic folding of membrane proteins

Abstract

An AFM-based single-molecule approach shows how the chaperone and insertase YidC stabilizes E. coli LacY in the unfolded state and assists LacY to insert and fold transmembrane structural segments in random order until folding of the native state is complete.
