Abstract:
Transport of proteins across the bacterial inner membrane occurs primarily at the SecY translocon. The drive for post-translational transport comes from ATP hydrolysis by SecA, and the trans-membrane proton motive force (PMF). However, the underlying mechanism for this coupling is unclear. In my talk I will summarise how we think this is achieved. I will also consider how common principles may operate in other transport systems, including those responsible for mitochondrial protein import.
