Abstract
In Escherichia coli, proteins found in the periplasm or the outer membrane are exported from the cytoplasm by the general secretory, Sec, system before they acquire stably folded structure. This dynamic process involves intricate interactions among cytoplasmic and membrane proteins, both peripheral and integral, as well as lipids. In vivo, both ATP hydrolysis and proton motive force are required. Here, we review the Sec system from the inception of the field through early 2016, including biochemical, genetic, and structural data.

期刊介绍:
EcoSal Plus is the authoritative online review journal that publishes an ever-growing body of expert reviews covering virtually all aspects of E. coli, Salmonella, and other members of the family Enterobacteriaceae and their use as model microbes for biological explorations. This journal is intended primarily for the research community as a comprehensive and continuously updated archive of the entire corpus of knowledge about the enteric bacterial cell. Thoughtful reviews focus on physiology, metabolism, genetics, pathogenesis, ecology, genomics, systems biology, and history E. coli and its relatives. These provide the integrated background needed for most microbiology investigations and are essential reading for research scientists. Articles contain links to E. coli K12 genes on the EcoCyc database site and are available as downloadable PDF files. Images and tables are downloadable to PowerPoint files.
