SecG is a small inner-membrane accessory subunit of the Escherichia coli SecYEG protein-conducting channel. It associates with SecY, contributes to SecYEG-dependent protein transmembrane transporter activity, stimulates efficient preprotein translocation, and undergoes SecA-linked topological rearrangements during the translocation cycle without supplying the ATPase activity, which resides in SecA.

Download this section (compressed HTML)Q: Which SecG conformational movements are required for SecA-driven transport of native E. coli substrates, and which substrates can be transported by SecYE without SecG?
Experiment: Reconstitute SecYEG complexes carrying topology-inversion-defective SecG variants and compare their kinetics against SecYE and wild-type SecYEG with a panel of native preproteins.
Hypothesis: SecG topological rearrangement increases translocation efficiency for a substrate-specific subset rather than supplying an obligatory pore function.
Type: reconstituted preprotein translocation assay
