    摘要:

    细菌细胞中, 三分之一的蛋白质是在合成后被转运到细胞质外才发挥功能的。其中大多数蛋白是通过Sec途径(即分泌途径 secretion pathway)进行跨膜运动的。Sec转运酶是一个多组分的蛋白质复合体, 膜蛋白三聚体SecYEG及水解ATP的动力蛋白SecA构成了Sec转运酶的核心。整合膜蛋白SecD, SecF 和YajC 形成了一个复合体亚单位, 可与SecYEG相连并稳定SecA蛋白的膜结合形式。SecB是蛋白质转运中的伴侣分子, 可以和很多蛋白质前体结合。SecM是由位于secA基因上游的secM基因编码的, 可调节SecA蛋白的合成量, 维持细胞在不同环境条件下的正常生长。新生肽链的信号肽被高度保守的SRP特异性识别。伴侣分子SecB通过与细胞膜上的SecA二聚体特异性结合将蛋白质前体引导至Sec转运途径, 起始转运过程。结合蛋白质前体的SecA与组成转运通道的SecYEG复合体具有较高的亲和性。SecA经历插入和脱离细胞内膜SecYEG通道的循环, 为转运提供所需的能量, 每一次循环可推动20多个氨基酸的连续跨膜运动。

    Abstract:

    There are one third of synthesized proteins must be secreted to the cell surface or to the surrounding environment to acquire their native functional state. Most of them are exported by Sec translocase (secretion pathway). Sec translocase consists of a membrane embedded protein-conducting channel, termed SecYEG and a peripherally associated motor domain, the ATPase SecA. The SecDFyajC heterotrimeric membrane protein complex can facilitates protein translocation. SecB is a molecular chaperone that functions in the protein translocation pathway. SecM (secretion monitor) encoded by the 5' region of the secM-secA mRNA, which elongation arrest is required for upregulated expression of SecA. The signal sequence in the N terminus of the nascent peptide is first recognized by the signal recognition particle (SRP). SecB, the Sec-system-specific chaperone, channels the preprotein to the Sec translocation pathway and, additionally, actively targets the bound precursor to the translocase by its ability to bind SecA. The preprotein-bearing SecA then binds to the membrane, at a high-affinity SecA-binding site, SecYEG, which constitutes a channel for polypeptide movement. Continued translocation requires cycles of ATP hydrolysis by SecA, which is thought to occur in a step-wise fashion with a step of 20~30 amino acid residues.
