Several classes ofsecA mutants have been isolated which reveal the essential role of this gene product forE. coli cell envelope protein secretion. SecA-dependent,in vitro protein translocation systems have been utilized to show that SecA is an essential, plasma membrane-associated, protein translocation factor, and that SecA's ATPase activity appears to play an essential but as yet undefined role in this process. Cell fractionation studies suggested that SecA protein is in a dynamic state within the cell, occurring in soluble, peripheral, and integral membraneous states. These data have been used to argue that SecA is likely to promote the initial insertion of secretory precursor proteins into the plasma membrane in a manner dependent on ATP hydrolysis. The protein secretion capability of the cell has been shown to translationally regulatesecA expression with SecA protein serving as an autogenous repressor, although the exact mechanism and purpose of this regulation need to be defined further. 相似文献

Recent years have seen the convergence of both genetic and biochemical approaches in the study of protein translocation inE. coli. The powerful combination of these approaches is exemplified in the use of anin vitro protein synthesis-protein translocaltion system to analyze the role of genetically defined components of the protein translocation machinery. We describe in this review recent results focusing on the function of thesecA, secB, andsecY gene products and the demonstration of their requirement forin vitro protein translocation. The SecA protein was recently shown to possess ATPase activity and was proposed to be a component of the translocation ATPase. We present a speculative working model whereby the translocator complex is composed of the integral membrane proteins SecY, SecD, SecE, and SecF, forming an aqueous channel in the cytoplasmic membrane, and the tightly associated peripheral membrane protein SecA functioning as the catalytic subunit of the translocator or protein-ATPase. 相似文献

A new isoflavone having antifungal activity was isolated from immature fruits of Lupinus luteus (Leguminosae), and named luteone. The structure was shown to be 5,7,2′,4′-tetrahy-droxy-6-(3,3-dimethylallyl)-isoflavone by degradative and spectroscopic studies. 相似文献

The ATPase SecA is involved in post-translational protein translocation through the SecY channel across the bacterial inner membrane. SecA is a dimer that can dissociate into monomers with translocation activity. Here, we have addressed whether dissociation of the SecA dimer is required for translocation. We show that a dimer in which the two subunits are cross-linked by disulfide bridges is inactive in protein translocation, translocation ATPase, and binding to a lipid bilayer. In contrast, upon reduction of the disulfide bridges, the resulting monomers regain these activities. These data support the notion that dissociation of SecA dimers into monomers occurs during protein translocation. 相似文献

The specialised ATPase FliI is central to export of flagellar axial protein subunits during flagellum assembly. We establish the normal cellular location of FliI and its regulatory accessory protein FliH in motile Salmonella typhimurium, and ascertain the regions involved in FliH(2)/FliI heterotrimerisation. Both FliI and FliH localised to the cytoplasmic membrane in the presence and in the absence of proteins making up the flagellar export machinery and basal body. Membrane association was tight, and FliI and FliH interacted with Escherichia coli phospholipids in vitro, both separately and as the preformed FliH(2)/FliI complex, in the presence or in the absence of ATP. Yeast two-hybrid analysis and pull-down assays revealed that the C-terminal half of FliH (H105-235) directs FliH homodimerisation, and interacts with the N-terminal region of FliI (I1-155), which in turn has an intra-molecular interaction with the remainder of the protein (I156-456) containing the ATPase domain. The FliH105-235 interaction with FliI was sufficient to exert the FliH-mediated down-regulation of ATPase activity. The basal ATPase activity of isolated FliI was stimulated tenfold by bacterial (acidic) phospholipids, such that activity was 100-fold higher than when bound by FliH in the absence of phospholipids. The results indicate similarities between FliI and the well-characterised SecA ATPase that energises general protein secretion. They suggest that FliI and FliH are intrinsically targeted to the inner membrane before contacting the flagellar secretion machinery, with both FliH105-235 and membrane phospholipids interacting with FliI to couple ATP hydrolysis to flagellum assembly. 相似文献

An efficient synthesis of a library of 5-amino-thiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidines is reported. Regioselective displacements of chlorines, as well as regioselective diazotation reactions are described, which allow the introduction of structural diversity on the scaffold by consecutive reactions. Screening of this focused library led to the discovery of SecA inhibitors from Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. 相似文献

The cytoplasmic step of posttranslational secretion in Escherichia coli is catalyzed by export-specific chaperone SecB and translocational ATPase SecA. In addition, the efficiency of secretion depends on the charge of the signal peptide (SP). Replacement of positively charged Lys(–20) with uncharged Ala or negatively charged Glu in the N-terminal region of SP of the alkaline phosphatase precursor (prePhoA) was shown to decrease the PhoA secretion in the periplasm. The effect on secretion increased in the absence of SecB and was especially high on SecA inactivation. A change in SP charge strengthened the SecA and SecB dependences of secretion. On evidence of immunoprecipitation, the charge of the N-terminal region of SP had no effect on prePhoA interaction with the cytoplasmic secretion factors, suggesting no direct binding between this region and SecA or SecB. Yet the charge of the N-terminal region proved to affect the functions of SP as an intramolecular chaperone and a factor of prePhoA targeting to the membrane in cooperation with SecA and SecB. 相似文献

The general secretory (Sec) system of Escherichia coli translocates both periplasmic and outer membrane proteins through the cytoplasmic membrane. The pathway through the membrane is provided by a highly conserved translocon, which in E. coli comprises two heterotrimeric integral membrane complexes, SecY, SecE, and SecG (SecYEG), and SecD, SecF, and YajC (SecDF/YajC). SecA is an associated ATPase that is essential to the function of the Sec system. SecA plays two roles, it targets precursors to the translocon with the help of SecB and it provides energy via hydrolysis of ATP. SecA exists both free in the cytoplasm and integrally membrane associated. Here we describe details of association of the amino‐terminal region of SecA with membrane. We use site‐directed spin labelling and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy to show that when SecA is co‐assembled into lipids with SecYEG to yield highly active translocons, the N‐terminal region of SecA penetrates the membrane and lies at the interface between the polar and the hydrophobic regions, parallel to the plane of the membrane at a depth of approximately 5 Å. When SecA is bound to SecYEG, preassembled into proteoliposomes, or nonspecifically bound to lipids in the absence of SecYEG, the N‐terminal region penetrates more deeply (8 Å). Implications of partitioning of the SecA N‐terminal region into lipids on the complex between SecB carrying a precursor and SecA are discussed. 相似文献
