The cytoplasmic step of posttranslational secretion in Escherichia coli is catalyzed by export-specific chaperone SecB and translocational ATPase SecA. In addition, the efficiency of secretion depends on the charge of the signal peptide (SP). Substitution of positively charged Lys(-20) with noncharged Ala or negatively charged Glu in the N-terminal region of SP of the alkaline phosphatase (PhoA) precursor (prePhoA) was shown to decrease the PhoA secretion in the periplasm. The effect on secretion increased in the absence of SecB and was especially high on SecA inactivation. A change in SP charge strengthened the SecA and SecB dependences of secretion. On evidence of immunoprecipitation, the charge of the N-terminal region of SP had no effect on prePhoA interaction with the cytoplasmic secretion factors, suggesting no direct binding between this region and SecA or SecB. Yet the charge of the N-terminal region proved to affect the functions of SP as an intramolecular chaperone and a factor of prePhoA targeting to the membrane in cooperation with SecA and SecB.
