Popis: The Escherichia coli SecYEG complex forms a transmembrane channel for both protein export and membrane protein insertion. Secretory proteins and large periplasmic domains of membrane proteins require for translocation in addition the SecA ATPase. The conserved arginine 357 of SecY is essential for a yet unidentified step in the SecA catalytic cycle. To further dissect its role, we have analysed the requirement for 8357 in membrane protein insertion. Although 8357 substitutions abolish post-translational translocation, they allow the translocation of periplasmic domains targeted co-translationally by an N-terminal transmembrane segment. We propose that 8357 is essential for the initiation of SecA-dependent translocation only. (C) 2007 Federation of European Biochemical Societies. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
