The pathway for polypeptides exported from E. coli includes the following steps, which occur in what order for correct export?

1.  A chaperone, SecA, binds to the polypeptide.

2.  A chaperone, SecB, binds to the polypeptide.

3.  ATP is hydrolyzed by Sec A.

4.  SecA pushes 20 amino acids of the polypeptide into the translocation complex.
