The energetic mechanism of preprotein export in Escherichia coli has been a source of controversy for many years. In vitro studies of translocation reactions that use purified soluble and membrane components have not clarified the main features of this mechanism. Translocation occurs through consecutive steps which each have distinct energy requirements. Initiation of translocation requires ATP and the SecA protein. Most of the further steps can be driven by the protonmotive force (delta p).
多年来,大肠杆菌中前体蛋白输出的能量机制一直是争议的来源。使用纯化的可溶性和膜成分对转运反应进行的体外研究尚未阐明该机制的主要特征。转运通过连续步骤进行,每个步骤都有不同的能量需求。转运的起始需要ATP和SecA蛋白。大多数后续步骤可以由质子动力(Δp)驱动。
