Abstract excerpt
The outer membrane-specific lipoproteins of Escherichia coli are released from the inner membrane as a water-soluble complex with LolA and then transferred to the outer membrane receptor, LolB. LolA thus plays a critical role in the sorting and outer membrane localization of lipoproteins. To dissect the LolA function, the highly conserved residues were subjected to random mutagenesis, followed by selection for a...
