Journal ArticleDOI
The Ribosomal Exit Tunnel Functions as a Discriminating Gate
Hitoshi Nakatogawa,Koreaki Ito +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that this region of the exit tunnel interacts with nascent translation products and functions as a discriminating gate in the ribosomal exit tunnel.
Journal ArticleDOI
SecA protein hydrolyzes ATP and is an essential component of the protein translocation ATPase of Escherichia coli.
TL;DR: Data show that the SecA protein has a central role in coupling the hydrolysis of ATP to the transfer of pre‐secretory proteins across the membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular functions, mechanism of action, and regulation of ftsh protease
Koreaki Ito,Yoshinori Akiyama +1 more
TL;DR: The structure-function relationships of this intriguing enzyme, including the way it recognizes the soluble and membrane-integrated substrates differentially, are discussed, on the basis of the solved structure of the ATPase domain as well as extensive biochemical and genetic information accumulated in the past decade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protein localization in E. coli: Is there a common step in the secretion of periplasmic and outer-membrane proteins?
TL;DR: The results suggest that most of the periplasmic and outer-membrane proteins share a common step in localization before the polypeptide becomes accessible to the processing enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Sec protein-translocation pathway
Hiroyuki Mori,Koreaki Ito +1 more
TL;DR: The Sec machinery provides a major pathway of protein translocation from the cytosol across the cytoplasmic membrane in bacteria and the Sec translocase interacts with other cellular components to achieve its cellular roles.
