Crystal Structure of SecB complexed with SecA C-terminus
Overview
SecB is a bacterial chaperone involved in directing pre-protein to the, translocation pathway by its specific interaction with the peripheral, membrane ATPase SecA. The SecB-binding site on SecA is located at its C, terminus and consists of a stretch of highly conserved residues. The, crystal structure of SecB in complex with the C-terminal 27 amino acids of, SecA from Haemophilus influenzae shows that the SecA peptide is structured, as a CCCH zinc-binding motif. One SecB tetramer is bound by two SecA, peptides, and the interface involves primarily salt bridges and hydrogen, bonding interactions. The structure explains the importance of the, zinc-binding motif and conserved residues at the C terminus of SecA in its, high-affinity binding with SecB. It also suggests a model of SecB-SecA, interaction and its implication for the mechanism of pre-protein transfer, in bacterial protein translocation.
