A common evolutionary origin reveals fundamental principles of protein insertases

Membrane proteins require protein machineries to insert their hydrophobic transmembrane domains (TMDs) into the lipid bilayer. A functional analysis of protein insertases in this issue of PLOS Biology reveals that the fundamental mechanism of membrane protein insertion is universally conserved.
