Preprotein translocase subunit SecY; The central subunit of the protein translocation channel SecYEG. Consists of two halves formed by TMs 1-5 and 6-10. These two domains form a lateral gate at the front which open onto the bilayer between TMs 2 and 7, and are clamped together by SecE at the back. The channel is closed by both a pore ring composed of hydrophobic SecY resides and a short helix (helix 2A) on the extracellular side of the membrane which forms a plug. The plug probably moves laterally to allow the channel to open. The ring and the pore may move independently.

Preprotein translocase subunit SecG; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.

Preprotein translocase subunit SecE; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology; Belongs to the SecE/SEC61-gamma family.

Accessory Sec system translocase SecA2; SecA2; functions in protein export; can interact with acidic membrane phospholipids and the SecYEG protein complex; binds to preproteins; binds to ATP and undergoes a conformational change to promote membrane insertion of SecA/bound preprotein; ATP hydrolysis appears to drive release of the preprotein from SecA and deinsertion of SecA from the membrane; additional proteins SecD/F/YajC aid SecA recycling; exists in an equilibrium between monomers and dimers; may possibly form higher order oligomers; proteins in this cluster correspond to SecA2; wh [...]

ATP-binding protein; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.

Preprotein translocase subunit SecA; Part of the Sec protein translocase complex. Interacts with the SecYEG preprotein conducting channel. Has a central role in coupling the hydrolysis of ATP to the transfer of proteins into and across the cell membrane, serving as an ATP-driven molecular motor driving the stepwise translocation of polypeptide chains across the membrane.

Preprotein translocase subunit YajC; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.

Preprotein translocase YidC; Functions to insert inner membrane proteins into the IM in Escherichia coli; interacts with transmembrane segments; functions in both Sec-dependent and -independent membrane insertion; similar to Oxa1p in mitochondria; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.

50S ribosomal protein L23; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology; Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL23 family.
