Crystal structure of SecA in an open conformation from Bacillus Subtilis
Overview
The ATPase SecA mediates the posttranslational translocation of a wide, range of polypeptide substrates through the SecY channel in the, cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria. We have determined the crystal structure, of a monomeric form of Bacillus subtilis SecA at a 2.2-A resolution. A, comparison with the previously determined structures of SecA reveals a, nucleotide-independent, large conformational change that opens a deep, groove similar to that in other proteins that interact with diverse, polypeptides. We propose that the open form of SecA represents an, activated state.
