A mutation in secY that causes enhanced SecA insertion and impaired late functions in protein translocation.

Abstract excerpt

A cold-sensitive secY mutant (secY125) with an amino acid substitution in the first periplasmic domain causes in vivo retardation of protein export. Inverted membrane vesicles prepared from this mutant were as active as the wild-type membrane vesicles in translocation of a minute amount of radioactive preprotein. The mutant membrane also allowed enhanced insertion of SecA, and this SecA insertion was dependent on...
