Protein-export membrane protein SecG

UniProtKB accession:  P0AG99

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Subunit of the protein translocation channel SecYEG. Overexpression of some hybrid proteins has been thought to jam the protein secretion apparatus resulting in cell death; while this may be true it also results in FtsH-mediated degradation of SecY. Treatment with antibiotics that block translation elongation such as chloramphenicol also leads to degradation of SecY and SecE but not SecG.
