Abstract excerpt
The pathway by which segments of a polytopic membrane protein are inserted into the membrane has not been resolved in vivo. We have developed an in vivo kinetic assay to examine the insertion pathway of the polytopic protein bacterioopsin, the apoprotein of Halobacterium salinarum bacteriorhodopsin. Strains were constructed that express the bacteriorhodopsin mutants I4C:H(6) and T5C:H(6), which carry a unique Cys...
