Abstract excerpt
The Tat (twin-arginine translocation) system mediates export of periplasmic proteins in folded conformation. Proteins transported via Tat contain a characteristic twin-arginine motif in their signal peptide. Genetic determinants (tatABC genes) of the Tat system from Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae were cloned and characterized, and a tatBC deletion mutant was constructed. The mutant lacked the ability for...
