Category:GO:0031522 ! cell envelope Sec protein transport complex

name: cell envelope Sec protein transport complex
namespace: cellular_component
def: "A transmembrane protein complex involved in the translocation of proteins across the cytoplasmic membrane. In Gram-negative bacteria, Sec-translocated proteins are subsequently secreted via the type II, IV, or V secretion systems. Sec complex components include SecA, D, E, F, G, Y and YajC." [GOC:mtg_sensu, PMID:15223057]
comment: Note that this term represents the protein complex involved in transport of proteins across the cytoplasmic membrane. For proteins involved in bacterial type II secretion across the outer membrane, consider annotating to 'type II protein secretion complex ; GO:0015628'. For proteins involved in Sec-complex dependent translocation into the eukaryotic endoplasmic reticulum, consider annotating to 'endoplasmic reticulum Sec complex ; GO:0031205'.
