Abstract excerpt
A chimeric protein containing the uncleaved signal sequence of plasminogen activators inhibitor-2 (PAI2) fused to alkaline phosphatase (AP) interferes with Escherichia coli protein export and arrests growth. Suppressors of this toxicity include secG mutations that define the Thr-41-Leu-42-Phe-43 (TLF) domain of SecG. These mutations slow down the export of PAI2-AP. Another construct encoding a truncated PAI2...
