preprotein translocase subunit SecA
preprotein translocase subunit SecA is part of the Sec protein translocase complex, playing a central role in coupling the hydrolysis of ATP to the transfer of proteins into and across the cell membrane, serving both as a receptor for the preprotein-SecB complex and as an ATP-driven molecular motor
Functions in protein export; can interact with acidic membrane phospholipids and the SecYEG protein complex; binds to preproteins; binds to ATP and undergoes a conformational change to promote membrane insertion of SecA/bound preprotein; ATP hydrolysis appears to drive release of the preprotein from SecA and deinsertion of SecA from the membrane; additional proteins SecD/F/YajC aid SecA recycling; exists in an equilibrium between monomers and dimer
The proteins SecA-F and SecY, not all of which are necessary, comprise the standard prokaryotic protein translocation apparatus. Other, specialized translocation systems also exist but are not as broadly distributed. This HMM describes SecA, an essential member of the apparatus. This model excludes SecA2 of the accessory secretory system.
