DESCRIPTION

Also known as SECG_STAA8, SAOUHSC_00801. Subunit of the protein translocation channel SecYEG (By similarity). While not essential, it considerably increases the export efficiency of extracellular proteins. Component 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 SecDF, and other proteins may be involved. The channel interacts with SecA via subunit SecY (By similarity). Also part of the accessory SecA2/SecY2 protein translocation apparatus required to export cell wall protein GspB.
