Abstract excerpt
Structural properties of two similar beta-galactosidase fragments were investigated to determine how they influence the fragments' degradation rate in Escherichia coli. Both fragments resulting from a C-terminal nonsense mutation in lacZ, the CSH11 polypeptide and its 90 kDa degradative intermediate, exist predominantly as monomer subunits instead of in the tetrameric form characteristic of the native enzyme....
