Abstract
SecYEG is one of the main components of the Sec-translocon in Escherichia coli. Via two targeting routes, this system is responsible for translocating proteins across or incorporate proteins into the cytoplasmic membrane. The latter is done through the association of a ribosome nascent chain complex to the SecYEG channel. To gain more insight, both SecYEG and the RNCs were purified from E. coli expression strains. SecYEG was reconstituted into proteoliposomes and nanodiscs to test its translocation activity and the binding ability to RNCs. Through these experiments a KD in the nanomolar range was determined for the binding of RNCs to SecYEG nanodiscs.
