Abstract excerpt
The DmsD protein is essential for the biogenesis of DMSO reductase in Escherichia coli, and binds the signal peptide of the DmsA subunit, a Tat substrate. This suggests a role as a guidance factor to target pre-DmsA to the translocase. Here, we have analysed the export of fusion proteins in which the DmsA and TorA signal peptides are fused to green fluorescent protein. Both chimeras are efficiently exported to...
