SecDFyajC forms a heterotetrameric complex with YidC [PDF]
SummaryThe Escherichia coli preprotein translocase is composed of a ‘preprotein conducting channel’ domain that consists of the peripherally bound translocation ATPase SecA and the heterotrimeric SecYEG membrane protein complex. SecD, SecF, and YajC form another heterotrimeric complex that can associate with the SecYEG complex.

A unified evolutionary origin for the ubiquitous protein transporters SecY and YidC
Background Protein transporters translocate hydrophilic segments of polypeptide across hydrophobic cell membranes. Two protein transporters are ubiquitous and date back to the last universal common ancestor: SecY and YidC.

Isolation of Cold-Sensitive yidC Mutants Provides Insights into the Substrate Profile of the YidC Insertase and the Importance of Transmembrane 3 in YidC Function [PDF]
ABSTRACT YidC, a 60-kDa integral membrane protein, plays an important role in membrane protein insertion in bacteria. YidC can function together with the SecYEG machinery or operate independently as a membrane protein insertase. In this paper, we describe two new yidC mutants that lead to a cold-sensitive ...

The YidC/Oxa1/Alb3 protein family [PDF]
The members of the YidC/Oxa1/Alb3 protein family are evolutionary conserved in all three domains of life. They facilitate the insertion of membrane proteins into bacterial, mitochondrial, and thylakoid membranes and have been implicated in membrane protein folding and complex formation.

Evolution of YidC/Oxa1/Alb3 insertases: three independent gene duplications followed by functional specialization in bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts [PDF]
Members of the YidC/Oxa1/Alb3 protein family facilitate the insertion, folding and assembly of proteins of the inner membranes of bacteria and mitochondria and the thylakoid membrane of plastids.

Regulation and overexpression studies of YidC in Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]
AbstractThe preprotein translocase, YidC is an envelope protein which controls respiratory metabolism inMycobacterium tuberculosis. Previously, we have established that depletion ofyidCis deleterious for both extra- and intracellular proliferation ofM.tuberculosis; however, it remains unclear how YidC expression is regulated under different growth ...

PCR for the detection of pathogens in neonatal early onset sepsis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: A large proportion of neonates are treated for presumed bacterial sepsis with broad spectrum antibiotics even though their blood cultures subsequently show no growth. This study aimed to investigate PCR-based methods to identify pathogens not

Bacterial membrane dynamics: Compartmentalization and repair
The bacterial plasma membrane is not a homogeneous mixture of membranes and lipids, but a compartmentalized and organized structure that undergoes continuous remodeling and repair. This minireview discusses recent findings from various bacterial models and future challenges in the field of bacterial membrane research.

The membrane insertases YidC-Oxa1-Alb3 provide a simple cellular system that catalyzes the transmembrane topology of newly synthesized membrane proteins. The insertases are composed of a single protein with 5 to 6 transmembrane (TM) helices that contact hydrophobic segments of the substrate proteins.
