Novel Sequence Feature of SecA Translocase Protein Unique to the Thermophilic Bacteria: Bioinformatics Analyses to Investigate Their Potential Roles

SecA is an evolutionarily conserved protein that plays an indispensable role in the secretion of proteins across the bacterial cell membrane. Comparative analyses of SecA homologs have identified two large conserved signature inserts (CSIs) that are unique characteristics of thermophilic bacteria. A...
