Global overview protein channel • SecA (motor) and SecYE (channel) • Hydrophobic crack • Two-helix finger • Clamp • Plug
SecA • Motor protein • T. maritima • B. subtilis (PDB) • M. jannaschii • ATP binding domain (NBD1 & 2) • Polypeptide crosslinking domain (PPXD)
SecA - Topview (cytoplasmic) • Fig A. X-ray of SecA • Fig B. X-ray of SecA with ADP
SecA - Clamp • Hydrophobic residues show where polypeptide can bind Blue shows high conserved regions, red the lowest Orange: conserved hydrophobic residues
SecY • Red: SecA/Fab binding domain • Blue: used for intramolecular crosslinking • Green: used for intermolecular crosslinking
SecYE – Hydrophobic crack • Binding to SecYE results in opening
SecYE – Hydrophobic crack due to conformational change • V329 and T92 cannot form disulfide bonds after conformational change: • Fig F. Addition of SecA results in no disulfide bond between V329C and T92C
SecYE – MD analysis • MD analysis show closing of hydrophobic crack
SecYE – Comparison of M. jannaschii and T. maritima • Pore ring of SecYE opens by conformational change of TM8 & 9 • Plug opens also by this conformational change
SecYE – Hydrophobic residues in Pore ring (cytoplasmic-/topview)
Remember SecYE and SecA • How do SecYE and SecA fit together? SecYE (sideview) SecA (topview)
Alignment of the clamp of SecA and the lateral gate of SecY Red line: signal polypeptide Yellow/blue: SecA Red/green/gray: SecYEG
Conclusion • ATP necessary for closing of clamp • This to hold polypeptide in place • Clamp SecA positioned above lateral gate SecYE • Channel which goes through SecA and SecYE • Hydrophobic crack occurs in SecYE where the two-finger helix is positioned • Two-finger helix “pushes” polypeptide through hydrophobic crack
Model 1: the dimer model • Results brought in consideration: • Polypeptide “holded” in clamp of SecA • SecA positioned central above SecYE • No evidence for dimer formation of SecYE • Suggestion for different model
Discussion • Fab antibody • How much comparable with SecA • Some other crystals as proof • X-ray structure is not representative for dynamics • Visualize interactions between SecA and SecYE
