DESCRIPTION

Also known as SECD_SYNY3, secD. Part of the Sec protein translocase complex. Interacts with the SecYEG preprotein conducting channel. SecDF uses the proton motive force (PMF) to complete protein translocation after the ATP-dependent function of SecA., Probably participates in protein translocation into and across both the cytoplasmic and thylakoid membranes in cyanobacterial cells. Forms a complex with SecF. Part of the essential Sec protein translocation apparatus which comprises SecA, SecYEG and auxiliary proteins SecDF. Other proteins may also be involved.
