  Charge transport through a small topological superconducting island in
contact with a normal and a superconducting electrode occurs through a cycle
that involves coherent oscillations of Cooper pairs and tunneling in/out the
normal electrode through a Majorana bound state, the Josephson-Majorana cycle.
We illustrate this mechanism by studying the current-voltage characteristics of
a superconductor-topological superconductor-normal metal single-electron
transistor. At low bias and temperature the Josephson-Majorana cycle is the
dominant mechanism for transport. We discuss a three-terminal configuration
where the non-local character of the Majorana bound states is emergent.
