Abstract

In Escherichia coli, precursor proteins are translocated across the cytoplasmic membrane by translocase. This multisubunit enzyme consists of a preprotein-binding and ATPase domain, SecA, and the SecYEG complex as the integral membrane domain. PrlA4 is a mutant of SecY that enables the translocation of preproteins with a defective, or missing, signal sequence. Inner membranes of the prlA4 strain efficiently translocate Delta8proOmpA, a proOmpA derivative with a non-functional signal sequence. Owing to the signal sequence mutation, Delta8proOmpA binds to the translocase with a lowered affinity and the recognition is not restored by the prlA4 SecY. At the ATP-dependent initiation of translocation, the binding affinity of SecA for SecYEG is lowered causing the premature loss of bound preproteins from the translocase. The prlA4 membranes, however, bind SecA with a much higher affinity than the wild-type, and during initiation, the SecA and preprotein remain bound at the translocation site allowing an improved efficiency of translocation. It is concluded that the prlA4 strain prevents the rejection of defective preproteins from the export pathway by stabilizing SecA at the SecYEG complex.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.
