| Type: | Family | Name: | Protein translocase subunit SecA 2, Bacillus anthracis-type |
| Description: | In bacteria, the majority of exported proteins are transported by the general Sec pathway from their site of synthesis in the cytoplasm across the cytoplasmic membrane. The ATPase SecA powers this Sec-mediated export []. Members of this family always occur in genomes with the preprotein translocase SecA () and closely resemble it, hence the designation SecA2. However, this appears to be a different type of accessory Sec system SecA2 from the serine-rich glycoprotein type found in Staphylococcus and Streptococcus (), and the actinobacterial SecA2 (). This type occurs in species such as Bacillus anthracis, Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius, Solibacillus silvestris, etc []. | Short Name: | SecA2_Bac_anthr |
