General annotation
TypeCDS
FunctionInvolved in protein export. Interacts with the SECY/SECE subunits. SECA has a central role in coupling the hydrolysis of ATP to the transfer of PRE-secretory periplasmic and outer membrane proteins across the membrane.
ProductProbable preprotein translocase SecA1 1 subunit
CommentsRv3240c, (MTCY20B11.15c), len: 949 aa. Probable secA1, preprotein translocase subunit, component of secretion apparatus (see citations below), highly similar to many e.g. P57996|SEA1_MYCLE from Mycobacterium leprae (940 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 5044, E(): 0, (87.5% identity in 849 aa overlap); P95759|SECA_STRGR from Streptomyces griseus (940 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 2612, E(): 1.9e-134, (61.35% identity in 960 aa overlap); P28366|SECA_BACSU|div+ from Bacillus subtilis (841 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1776, E(): 4.9e-89, (48.05% identity in 837 aa overlap); etc. Belongs to the SecA family. Part of the prokaryotic protein translocation apparatus which comprise SECA, SECD|Rv2587c, SECE|Rv0638, SECF|Rv2586c, SECG|Rv1440 and SECY|Rv0732. Note that previously known as secA. Binds ATP.

ProteomicsIdentified in the membrane fraction of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using 1D-SDS-PAGE and uLC-MS/MS (See Gu et al., 2003). Identified in the cytosol and cell membrane fraction of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using 2DLC/MS (See Mawuenyega et al., 2005). Identified in culture filtrates of M. tuberculosis H37Rv (See Malen et al., 2007). Identified by mass spectrometry in Triton X-114 extracts of M. tuberculosis H37Rv (See Malen et al., 2010). Identified by mass spectrometry in the membrane protein fraction and whole cell lysates of M. tuberculosis H37Rv but not the culture filtrate (See de Souza et al., 2011).
MutantEssential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv in a MtbYM rich medium, by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis (see Minato et al. 2019). Essential gene domain for in vitro growth of H37Rv, by analysis of saturated Himar1 transposon libraries (see DeJesus et al. 2017). Essential gene by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis in H37Rv strain (see Sassetti et al., 2003). Essential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv, by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis (See Griffin et al., 2011).
