SecD and SecF facilitate protein export in Escherichia coli.

The EMBO journal - 1 Feb 1994

Pogliano J A, Beckwith J

Abstract excerpt

We show here that the rate of protein translocation in the bacterium Escherichia coli depends on the levels of the SecD and SecF proteins in the cell. Overexpression of SecD and SecF stimulates translocation in wild type cells and improves export of proteins with mutant signal sequences. Depletio...
