Abstract excerpt
To study the function of SecA protein and the protein translocation system of Bacillus subtilis, wild-type and mutant SecA proteins were characterized in vivo and in vitro. SecA protein was abundant in a wild-type strain (168) and existed in a stable homodimer. In contrast to this, SecA341 (ts) protein having an amino acid replacement from proline to leucine at residue 431 was undetectable by immunoblotting in...
