Abstract excerpt
The Gram-negative bacterial envelope is bounded by two membranes. Disulfide bond formation and isomerization in this oxidizing environment are catalyzed by DsbA and DsbC, respectively. It remains unknown when and how the Dsb proteins participate in the biogenesis of outer membrane proteins, which are transported across the cell envelope after their synthesis. The Escherichia coli protein LptD is an integral outer...
