SecY protein, a membrane-embedded secretion factor of E. coli, is cleaved by the ompT protease in vitro.

Biochemical and biophysical research communications - 16 Mar 1990

Akiyama Y, Ito K

Abstract excerpt

SecY is an integral membrane protein, spanning the cytoplasmic membrane of E. coli probably 10 times and required for efficient translocation of other proteins across the membrane. We report here that this protein can be specifically cleaved at the central region of the polypeptide after cell disruption, and cytoplasmic membrane preparations often contain a degradation product of SecY. This cleavage was ascribed...
