case <OG:Chloroplast>
FUNCTIONHas a central role in coupling the hydrolysis of ATP to the transfer of proteins across the thylakoid membrane.
else case <OC:Alphaproteobacteria> or <OC:Betaproteobacteria> or <OC:Gammaproteobacteria>
FUNCTIONPart 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 both as a receptor for the preprotein-SecB complex and as an ATP-driven molecular motor driving the stepwise translocation of polypeptide chains across the membrane.

Comments It is not yet clear whether the form that inserts preproteins into the membrane in conjunction with SecYEG is monmeric or dimeric. In some bacteria that have 2 copies (Listeria, Mycobacteria), 1 copy (secA1) is thought to be essential whereas the other (secA2) is required only for translocation of a subset of proteins. Mycobacteria have 2 copies, with the exception of MYCA1 which only has a copy of secA2. MALP2 has a C- terminal extension that resembles nothing in the database. SECA1_RHOBA (AC Q7UDY6) has a few short inserts compared to other sequences; its length has not been taken into account in the size range. In BAUCH (BCI_0515) it is annotated as a pseudogene with a verfied point mutation leading to a slightly truncated protein. Not encoded in CARRP.
