Protein translocation across the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane.
About 25% to 30% of the bacterial proteins function in the cell envelope or outside of the cell. These proteins are synthesized in the cytosol, and the vast majority is recognized as a ribosome-bound nascent chain by the signal recognition particle (SRP) or by the secretion-dedicated chaperone SecB. Subsequently, they are targeted to the Sec translocase in the cytoplasmic membrane, a multimeric...
متن کاملProtein translocation through the Sec61/SecY channel.
Special codes are embedded in the primary sequence of newly synthesized proteins to determine their final destination. Protein translocation across biological membranes requires co-operation between the targeting and translocation machineries. A conserved membrane channel, the Sec61/SecY complex, mediates protein translocation across or integration into the endoplasmic reticulum membrane in euk...
متن کاملDetecting Folding Intermediates of a Protein as It Passes through the Bacterial Translocation Channel
Most bacterial exported proteins cross the cytoplasmic membrane as unfolded polypeptides. However, little is known about how they fold during or after this process due to the difficulty in detecting folding intermediates. Here we identify cotranslational and posttranslational folding intermediates of a periplasmic protein in which the protein and DsbA, a periplasmic disulfide bond-forming enzym...
متن کاملProtein translocation by the Sec61/SecY channel.
The conserved protein-conducting channel, referred to as the Sec61 channel in eukaryotes or the SecY channel in eubacteria and archaea, translocates proteins across cellular membranes and integrates proteins containing hydrophobic transmembrane segments into lipid bilayers. Structural studies illustrate how the protein-conducting channel accomplishes these tasks. Three different mechanisms, eac...
متن کاملThe structure of the bacterial protein translocation complex SecYEG.
Proteins destined for secretion, membrane insertion or organellar import contain signal sequences that direct them to the membrane. Once there, transport machines receive and translocate them appropriately across or into the membrane. The related SecY and Sec61 protein translocation complexes are ubiquitous components of machines that are essential for protein transport. They co-operate with va...
