SecYEG assembles into a tetramer to form the active protein translocation channel.
Translocase mediates preprotein translocation across the Escherichia coli inner membrane. It consists of the SecYEG integral membrane protein complex and the peripheral ATPase SecA. Here we show by functional assays, negative-stain electron microscopy and mass measurements with the scanning transmission microscope that SecA recruits SecYEG complexes to form the active translocation channel. The...
متن کاملThe protein-conducting channel SecYEG.
In bacteria, the translocase mediates the translocation of proteins into or across the cytosolic membrane. It consists of a membrane embedded protein-conducting channel and a peripherally associated motor domain, the ATPase SecA. The channel is formed by SecYEG, a multimeric protein complex that assembles into oligomeric forms. The structure and subunit composition of this protein-conducting ch...
متن کاملInvestigating the SecY plug movement at the SecYEG translocation channel.
Protein translocation occurs across the energy-conserving bacterial membrane at the SecYEG channel. The crystal structure of the channel has revealed a possible mechanism for gating and opening. This study evaluates the plug hypothesis using cysteine crosslink experiments in combination with various allelic forms of the Sec complex. The results demonstrate that the SecY plug domain moves away f...
متن کاملMembrane protein insertion and assembly by the bacterial holo-translocon SecYEG–SecDF–YajC–YidC
Protein secretion and membrane insertion occur through the ubiquitous Sec machinery. In this system, insertion involves the targeting of translating ribosomes via the signal recognition particle and its cognate receptor to the SecY (bacteria and archaea)/Sec61 (eukaryotes) translocon. A common mechanism then guides nascent transmembrane helices (TMHs) through the Sec complex, mediated by associ...
متن کاملProtein Translocation: The Sec61/SecYEG Translocon Caught in the Act
The Sec61/SecYEG complex mediates both the translocation of newly synthesized proteins across the membrane and the integration of transmembrane segments into the lipid bilayer. New cryo-electron microscopy studies show ribosome-channel complexes in action and reveal their repertoire of conformational states.
