Abstract excerpt
The murine plasminogen activator inhibitor 2 (PAI2) signal sequence inefficiently promotes the export of E. coli alkaline phosphatase (AP). High-level expression of PAI2::AP chimeric proteins from the arabinose P(BAD) promoter is toxic and confers an Ara(S) phenotype. Most Ara(R) suppressors map to secA, as determined by sequencing 21 independent alleles. Mutations occur throughout the gene, including both...
