Abstract excerpt
In Gram-negative bacteria, lipoproteins are targeted to either the inner or outer membrane depending on their sorting signals. An ABC transporter LolCDE complex in Escherichia coli releases outer membrane-specific lipoproteins. Inner membrane-specific lipoproteins remain in the inner membrane because they each have a LolCDE-avoidance signal and therefore are not released by LolCDE. Only the LolC(A40P) mutation...
