Abstract excerpt
We report a novel strategy for selecting mutations that mislocalize lipoproteins within the Escherichia coli cell envelope and describe the mutants obtained. A strain carrying a deletion of the chromosomal malE gene, coding for the periplasmic maltose-binding protein (MalE), cannot use maltose unless a wild-type copy of malE is present in trans. Replacement of the natural signal peptide of preMalE by the signal...
