The cpTatC protein in the cpTAT pathway has a unique amino-terminal extension not found in bacterial or archaeal TatC proteins.The N-terminal extension of cpTatC interacts with the precursor mature domain during TAT translocation.The crosslinking data indicate that different regions within the N-terminal extension exhibit varying intensities when binding to the precursor.
