Protein-export protein SecB

UniProtKB accession:  P0AG86

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  One of the proteins required for the normal export of some preproteins out of the cell cytoplasm. It is a molecular chaperone that binds to a subset of precursor proteins, maintaining them in a translocation-competent state. For 2 proteins (MBP, MalE and PhoA) the substrate is wrapped around the homotetramer, which prevents it from folding (PubMed:27501151). It also specifically binds to its receptor SecA. Its substrates include DegP, FhuA, FkpA, GBP, LamB, MalE (MBP), OmpA, OmpF, OmpT, OmpX, OppA, PhoE, TolB, TolC, YbgF, YcgK, YgiW and YncE (PubMed:16352602).
