Abstract excerpt
The bacterial Sec pathway is responsible for the translocation of secretory preproteins. During the later stages of transport, the membrane-embedded signal peptidase I (SPase I) cleaves the signal peptide from a preprotein. We used tryptophan fluorescence spectroscopy of a soluble, catalytically active E. coli SPase I Δ2-75 enzyme to study its dynamic conformational changes while in solution and when interacting...
