The SecA protein occupies a pivotal position in the public protein export pathway in Escherichia coli. The multifunctional SecA protein recognizes cytoplasmic factors associated with export including the presecretory protein and targets the complex to the inner membrane, where it acts in the early stages of protein translocation. The ability of SecA to bind ATP was the basis for the development of a novel, rapid purification scheme involving a single chromatographic step. Affinity chromatography was carried out on Red Sepharose CL-6B. The SecA present in crude extracts of E. coli binds strongly to this dye-ligand matrix, and active protein was purified to greater than 90% homogeneity. The protein isolated by this procedure retained the previously described ATPase and RNA-binding activities of SecA. This approach should permit the rapid purification of SecA homologs from a variety microorganisms.
