During localization to the periplasmic space or
to the outer membrane of Escherichia coli some proteins are
dependent on binding to the cytosolic chaperone SecB, which in turn is
targeted to the membrane by specific interaction with SecA, a
peripheral component of the translocase. Five variant forms of SecB,
previously demonstrated to be defective in mediating export in
vivo (Gannon, P. M., and Kumamoto, C. A. (1993)
J. Biol. Chem. 268, 1590-1595; Kimsey, H. K.,
Dagarag, M. D., and Kumamoto, C. A. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 22831-22835) were investigated with respect to
their ability to bind SecA both in solution and at the membrane
translocase. We present evidence that at least two regions of SecA are
involved in the formation of active complexes with SecB. The variant
forms of SecB were all capable of interacting with SecA in solution to
form complexes with stability similar to that of complexes between SecA
and wild-type SecB. However, the variant forms were defective in
interaction with a separate region of SecA, which was shown to trigger
a change that was correlated to activation of the complex. The region
of SecA involved in activation of the complexes was defined as the
extreme carboxyl-terminal 21 aminoacyl residues.
