Abstract excerpt
The general secretory, Sec, system translocates precursor polypeptides from the cytosol across the cytoplasmic membrane in Escherichia coli. SecB, a small cytosolic chaperone, captures the precursor polypeptides before they fold and delivers them to the membrane translocon through interactions with SecA. Both SecB and SecA display twofold symmetry and yet the complex between the two is stabilized by contacts that...
