The export of protein from Escherichia coli has been studied by genetic, biochemical and biophysical techniques. These studies have defined a number of steps in the export pathway and have identified the cellular components required for the translocation process. New information is presented on the
The gene secY (or prlA) is essential for protein export across the cytoplasmic membrane of Escherichia coli. The protein product of secY has been identified using the gene cloned under the control of the pL promoter of phage lambda in combination with the maxicell system. The protein was found to ha
