SecD/F complex also helps in the pulling of the protein from the other side of the cell membrane. Driven by ATP energy, SecA pushes the protein through the secYEG channel. The complex can then bind to SecYEG, by which SecA is activated by binding with ATP. SecB specifically maintains the peptide in an unfolded state, and aids in the binding of SecA. As elongation of peptide chain continues, TF is replaced by SecB. In SecA pathway, a chaperone trigger factor (TF) first bind to the exposed N-terminal signal sequence of the peptide chain. Proteins are synthesised in ribosomes by a process of serially adding amino acids, called translation. Whereas in the SRP pathway, YidC is the chaperone, and transport proteins to the cell membrane while they are still undergoing peptide synthesis. In the SecA pathway, SecB acts as a chaperone, helping protein transport to the periplasm after complete synthesis of the peptide chains. The two pathways require different molecular chaperones and ultimately use a protein-transporting channel SecYEG for transporting the proteins across the inner cell membrane. SRP is a ribonucleoprotein (protein-RNA complex) that recognizes and targets specific proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum in eukaryotes and to the cell membrane in prokaryotes. SecA is an ATPase motor protein and has many related proteins including SecD, SecE, SecF, SegG, SecM, and SecY. The Sec system utilises two different pathways for secretion: the SecA and signal recognition particle (SRP) pathways. Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes are Gram-positive bacteria that use the Sec system. Among Gram-negative bacteria, Vibrio cholerae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Yersinia enterocolitica use the Sec system. But in Gram-positive bacteria, the protein can stay in the cell or is mostly transported out of the bacteria using other secretion systems. In Gram-negative bacteria, the secreted protein is sent to either the inner membrane or the periplasm. The general secretion (Sec) involves secretion of unfolded proteins that first remain inside the cells. The export pathway is responsible for crossing the inner cell membrane in diderms, and the only cell membrane in monoderms. In addition, there is appreciable difference between diderm bacteria with lipopolysaccharide on the outer membrane (diderm-LPS) and those with mycolic acid (diderm-mycolate). There are at least eight types specific to Gram-negative bacteria, four to Gram-positive bacteria, while two are common to both. But the classification is by no means clear and complete. These major differences can be distinguished between Gram-negative diderm bacteria and Gram-positive monoderm bacteria. Another involves a two-step activity in which the proteins are first transported out of the inner cell membrane, then deposited in the periplasm, and finally through the outer cell membrane into the host cell. One process is a one-step mechanism in which proteins from the cytoplasm of bacteria are transported and delivered directly through the cell membrane into the host cell. Generally, proteins can be secreted through two different processes. They can be classified into different types based on their specific structure, composition and activity. Specifically, they are the cellular devices used by pathogenic bacteria to secrete their virulence factors (mainly of proteins) to invade the host cells.
