Synthesis pass · prose summary of the discoveries below

SRP54 is the universally conserved GTPase subunit of the signal recognition particle (SRP) that couples nascent-chain signal-sequence recognition to co-translational protein targeting at the endoplasmic reticulum or thylakoid membrane. Its methionine-rich M domain binds hydrophobic signal sequences and anchors SRP54 to SRP RNA—in mammals dependent on prior SRP19 binding to helix 8—while the NG GTPase domain undergoes a cooperative nucleotide cycle with the SRP receptor (SRα/FtsY): both proteins start nucleotide-free, co-bind GTP to form the targeting complex that transfers the nascent chain to the Sec61 translocon, and hydrolyze GTP to dissociate (PMID:9182758, PMID:7969124, PMID:9016569). De novo missense mutations in the SRP54 GTPase domain cause Shwachman–Diamond-like syndrome with severe congenital neutropenia; these mutations destabilize the GTPase core, abolish GTP binding and receptor-complex formation, trigger ER stress and p53-dependent apoptosis in granulocytic progenitors, and act dominant-negatively by impairing XBP1 mRNA splicing (PMID:28972538, PMID:33053321, PMID:29914977, PMID:33227812). In chloroplasts, cpSRP54 additionally functions posttranslationally—forming a transit complex with cpSRP43 via its plastid-specific C-terminal tail—to chaperone light-harvesting proteins (LHCP) to the thylakoid membrane (PMID:7731984, PMID:25833951, PMID:38989593).
