Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli thioredoxin is normally a cytoplasmic protein involved in the reduction of disulfide bonds. However, thioredoxin can be translocated to the periplasm when it is attached to a cotranslational signal sequence. When exported to the periplasm, it can partially replace the activity of DsbA in promoting the formation of disulfide bonds. In contrast, when thioredoxin is fused to a posttranslational...
