UniProt functional annotation for P28366

UniProt code: P28366.

Organism: Bacillus subtilis (strain 168).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus.
 
Function: Part of the Sec protein translocase complex. Interacts with the SecYEG preprotein conducting channel. Has a central role in coupling the hydrolysis of ATP to the transfer of proteins into and across the cell membrane, serving as an ATP-driven molecular motor driving the stepwise translocation of polypeptide chains across the membrane. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01382}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=ATP + H(2)O + cellular protein(Side 1) = ADP + phosphate + cellular protein(Side 2).; EC=7.4.2.8; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01382, ECO:0000305|PubMed:8440733};
Cofactor: Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01382}; Note=May bind 1 zinc ion per subunit. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01382};
Subunit: Part of the essential Sec protein translocation apparatus which comprises SecA, SecYEG and auxiliary proteins SecDF. Other proteins may be involved. Monomer and many different homodimers can be isolated (PubMed:16989859), some of which are not formed in the presence of a synthetic signal peptide. A single SecA monomer interacts with SecY in the channel. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16989859, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18923516}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01382}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01382}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01382}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01382}. Note=Distribution is 50-50. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01382}.
Similarity: Belongs to the SecA family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01382}.
