Comments [?]

case <OC:Bacteria> or <OC:Archaea>
FUNCTIONThe central subunit of the protein translocation channel SecYEG. Consists of two halves formed by TMs 1-5 and 6-10. These two domains form a lateral gate at the front which open onto the bilayer between TMs 2 and 7, and are clamped together by SecE at the back. The channel is closed by both a pore ring composed of hydrophobic SecY resides and a short helix (helix 2A) on the extracellular side of the membrane which forms a plug. The plug probably moves laterally to allow the channel to open. The ring and the pore may move independently.

end case
case <OC:Bacteria>
SUBUNITComponent of the Sec protein translocase complex. Heterotrimer consisting of SecY, SecE and SecG subunits. The heterotrimers can form oligomers, although 1 heterotrimer is thought to be able to translocate proteins. Interacts with the ribosome. Interacts with SecDF, and other proteins may be involved. Interacts with SecA.
else case <OC:Archaea>
SUBUNITComponent of the Sec protein translocase complex. Heterotrimer consisting of alpha (SecY), beta (SecG) and gamma (SecE) subunits. The heterotrimers can form oligomers, although 1 heterotrimer is thought to be able to translocate proteins. Interacts with the ribosome. May interact with SecDF, and other proteins may be involved.
else case <OG:Chloroplast>
SUBUNITComponent of the plastid Sec protein translocase complex, which is composed of at least SecY and SecE.
end case
case <OG:Chloroplast>

Comments Unless there is a crystal structure we do not usually try to annotate the discontinuous transmembrane helix 2. A second, related SecY2 is encoded in some Staphylococcus and Streptococcus genomes (MF_01466); it is required for export of a large cell wall protein in the few organisms where it has been characterized. The 2 familes, while related, do not overlap.
