Abstract excerpt
To study lipoprotein sorting in Escherichia coli, we devised a novel screen in which sensitivity or resistance to bacteriophage T5 and colicin M reflects the membrane localization of the bacteriophage T5-encoded lipoprotein Llp, which inactivates the outer membrane (OM) T5 receptor (FhuA). When processed by lipoprotein signal peptidase, Llp has a serine at position +2, immediately after the fatty acylated...
