Abstract excerpt
The ATPase activity of the ABC (ATP-binding cassette) ATPase domain of the HlyB (haemolysin B) transporter is required for secretion of Escherichia coli haemolysin via the type I pathway. Although ABC transporters are generally presumed to function as dimers, the precise role of dimerization remains unclear. In the present study, we have analysed the HlyB ABC domain, purified separately from the membrane domain,...
