Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli yaeT encodes an essential, conserved outer membrane (OM) protein that is an ortholog of Neisseria meningitidis Omp85. Conflicting data with N. meningitidis indicate that Omp85 functions either in assembly of OM proteins or in export of OM lipids. The role of YaeT in E. coli was investigated with a new temperature-sensitive mutant harboring nine amino acid substitutions. The mutant stops growing...
