Abstract excerpt
The fifth and the sixth cytoplasmic regions (C5 and C6) of SecY are important for the SecA-driven preprotein translocation reaction. A cold-sensitive mutation, secY205 (Tyr-429 --> Asp), in C6 impairs the ATP- and precursor-dependent SecA insertion into the membrane. We now identified second site mutations that suppressed the defect. Cis-placement of these mutations proved to suppress mutations at another...
