Extending the Transertion Hypothesis

Vic Norris, Eugenia Mileykovskaya and Kouji Matsumoto  

The coupling of transcription, translation and the insertion of nascent peptides into membrane (or their association with membrane), termed transertion is increasingly been seen as a major process in the structuring of bacteria. This commentary focuses on current and new ideas about the roles of transertion in processes as varied as lipid metabolism, RNA degradation, osmoregulation and the structuring of nucleoid and membrane. We also discuss the problems that transertion may pose to cells.
