摘要
It was found that Ca2+ stimulates the intrinsic SecA ATPase activity in the absence as well as in the presence of liposome, On the other hand, Mg2+, the general cofactor for ATPase. did not affect the intrinsic SecA ATPase but reduced the portion of ATPase activity enhanced by. Ca2+. The enhancement of SecA ATPase activity correlated well with the increase in 8-anilino-1-naphthalene-sulfonic acid binding of SecA, suggesting that increased exposure of hydrophobic residues stimulates the enzyme activity.
