Nucleotide sequence of the secA gene and secA(Ts) mutations preventing protein export in Escherichia coli [PDF]
The DNA sequence of the secA gene, essential for protein export in Escherichia coli, was determined and found to encode a hydrophilic protein of 901 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular weight of 101,902, consistent with its previously determined size and subcellular location.

Cloning and Expression Analysis of Phytoplasma Protein Translocation Genes
Genes encoding SecA and SecY proteins, essential components of the Sec protein translocation system, were cloned from onion yellows phytoplasma, an unculturable plant pathogenic bacterium. The secA gene consists of 2,505 nucleotides encoding an 835 amino

In Vitro Interaction of the Housekeeping SecA1 with the Accessory SecA2 Protein of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. [PDF]
The majority of proteins that are secreted across the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane leave the cell via the Sec pathway, which in its minimal form consists of the dimeric ATP-driven motor protein SecA that associates with the protein-conducting membrane ...

Mobility of the SecA 2-helix-finger is not essential for polypeptide translocation via the SecYEG complex [PDF]
The bacterial ATPase SecA and protein channel complex SecYEG form the core of an essential protein translocation machinery. The nature of the conformational changes induced by each stage of the hydrolytic cycle of ATP and how they are coupled to protein ...

Multiple SecA protein isoforms in Escherichia coli [PDF]
To define the anti-SecA-LacZ antiserum, immunoprecipitates produced with either whole anti-SecA-LacZ rabbit antiserum or affinity-purified antibodies were used to analyze nondenatured lysates of Escherichia coli. The antiserum contains antibodies that recognize different proteins.

The C-terminal tail of the bacterial translocation ATPase SecA modulates its activity
In bacteria, the translocation of proteins across the cytoplasmic membrane by the Sec machinery requires the ATPase SecA. SecA binds ribosomes and recognises nascent substrate proteins, but the molecular mechanism of nascent substrate recognition is ...

Conformational Dynamics of the Plug Domain of the SecYEG Protein-conducting Channel [PDF]
The central pore of the SecYEG preprotein-conducting channel is closed at the periplasmic face of the membrane by a plug domain. To study its conformational dynamics, the plug was labeled site-specifically with an environment-sensitive fluorophore.

SecY and SecA interact to allow SecA insertion and protein translocation across the Escherichia coli plasma membrane [PDF]
SecA, the preprotein-driving ATPase in Escherichia coli, was shown previously to insert deeply into the plasma membrane in the presence of ATP and a preprotein; this movement of SecA was proposed to be mechanistically coupled with preprotein translocation.

Functional characterization of the Staphylococcus carnosus SecA protein in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis secA mutant strains [PDF]
The Staphylococcus carnosus secA gene was cloned using the Bacillus subtilis secA gene as a probe. The S. carnosus secA encodes a polypeptide of 844 amino acid residues which is homologous to other known SecA proteins. The S. carnosus SecA functionally complemented the growth and secretion defects of a temperature-sensitive B.
