The essential SecA motor ATPase acts in concert with the SecYEG translocon to secrete proteins into the periplasmic space of Escherichia coli. In aqueous solutions, SecA exists largely as dimers, but the oligomeric state on membranes is less certain. Crystallographic studies have suggested several possible solution dimeric states, but its oligomeric state when bound to membranes directly or indirectly via the translocon is controversial. We have shown using disulfide crosslinking that the principal solution dimer, corresponding to a crystallographic dimer (PDB 1M6N), binds only weakly to large unilamellar vesicles (LUV) formed from E. coli lipids. We report here that other soluble crosslinked crystallographic dimers also bind weakly, if at all, to LUV. Furthermore, using a simple glutaraldehyde crosslinking scheme, we show that SecA is always monomeric when bound to LUV formed from E. coli lipids.
