Abstract: The proteins inserted into a cellular membrane determine the identity of that membrane. Such proteins are not inserted spontaneously, but rely on a set of 'translocases'. A new bacterial translocase - with relatives in chloroplasts and mitochondria - has now been identified, providing further support for a bacterial origin of these organelles.
