Abstract

The Sec system is present in all bacteria and responsible for the translocation of the majority of proteins across the cytoplasmic membrane. The system consists of two principal components: the ATPase motor protein, SecA, and the protein-conducting channel, SecYEG. In addition to this canonical Sec system, several Gram-positive bacteria also possess a so-called accessory Sec system. This is a specialized translocation system that is responsible for the export of a subset of secretory proteins, including virulence factors. The accessory Sec system consists of a second SecA paralog, termed SecA2, with or without a second SecY paralog, termed SecY2. In some bacteria, the accessory Sec system is dependent on the canonical Sec system for functionality, while in other bacteria, they can function independently. In this review, we provide an overview of the current knowledge of the canonical and accessory Sec system of Gram-positive bacteria with a focus on the primary component of the Sec translocase, SecA and SecYEG.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 May 2016.
All research outputs
#18,456,836
of 22,869,263 outputs
Outputs from Current topics in microbiology and immunology
#528
of 679 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#218,894
of 298,979 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current topics in microbiology and immunology
#3
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,869,263 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 679 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.9. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 298,979 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
