Abstract excerpt
We examined the dependence of protein export and membrane protein insertion on SecE and SecA, two components of the secretion (Sec) apparatus of Escherichia coli. The magnitude of the secretion defect observed for signal sequence-containing proteins in cells depleted of SecE is larger and more general than that in many temperature- or cold-sensitive Sec mutants. In addition, we show that the proper insertion of...
