Abstract excerpt
The SecM protein of Escherichia coli contains an arrest sequence (F(150)XXXXWIXXXXGIRAGP(166)), which interacts with the ribosomal exit tunnel to halt translation elongation beyond Pro-166. This inhibition is reversed by active export of the nascent SecM chain. Here, we studied the physiological roles of SecM. Arrest-alleviating mutations in the arrest sequence reduced the expression of secA, a downstream gene on...
