The characterization of SecA and its interactions with signal sequences in the bacterial secretory pathway

Signal sequence recognition by SecA, a preprotein translocating molecular machine, is a major and unique cellular function in the bacterial secretory pathway. The SecA ATPase must specifically and efficiently recognize the amino-terminal signal sequences of newly synthesized polypeptides to be able...
