Abstract excerpt
SecA is an essential ATP-driven motor protein that binds to preproteins and the translocon to promote protein translocation across the eubacterial plasma membrane. Escherichia coli SecA contains seven conserved motifs characteristic of superfamily II of DNA and RNA helicases, and it has been shown previously to possess RNA helicase activity. SecA has also been shown to be an autogenous repressor that binds to its...
