Abstract excerpt
An approach to identifying the interaction site of multicomponent protein assembly has been applied to the membrane-bound SecY-SecE complex, which mediates protein export across the Escherichia coli cytoplasmic membrane. A dominant negative secY allele, secY-d1, inactivates SecY but preserves its ability to interact with SecE. Thus, the mutant protein sequesters SecE in an inactive complex. Second site mutations...
