Abstract excerpt
AIMS: In Gram-positive bacteria, signal peptide-bearing secretory proteins are translocated through the cytoplasmic membrane and fold into their native conformation on the outside of the cell. The products of the Bacillus subtilis wprA and dltB genes separately influence post-translocational stages of the secretion process by mediating proteolytic degradation and folding of secretory proteins. Inactivation of...
