Abstract excerpt
SecY, SecE and SecG form a heterotrimer, which functions as a protein translocation channel in Escherichia coli. The cytosolic loop of SecE contains a segment that is conserved among different organisms. Here we show that mutational alterations in this segment not only inactivate the SecE function but confer dominant interfering properties on the altered SecE molecule. Such effects were especially evident in...
