Inefficient Tat-dependent export of periplasmic amidases in an Escherichia coli strain with mutations in two DedA family genes.

Abstract excerpt

The DedA family genes are found in most bacterial genomes. Two of these proteins are Escherichia coli YqjA and YghB, predicted inner membrane proteins of unknown function sharing 61% amino acid identity. The E. coli single deletion mutants are largely without phenotype, but the double mutant (BC202; Delta yqjA::Tet(r) Delta yghB::Kan(r)) is characterized by incomplete cell division, temperature sensitivity, and...
