SecA

=SecA=


 * SecA is an ATPase that functions as a receptor for secretory proteins and an ATP dependent motor that drives the protein translocation reaction
 * It is the central component of the bacterial Sec system as it interacts with allmost all components of the translocase
 * Associates with negatively charged phospholipids with low affinity
 * Associates with protein conducting channel with high affinity
 * Homodimeric form is active form in protein translocation, when bound to protein conducting channel
