Abstract excerpt
Leader peptidase (Lep) is a central component of the secretory machinery of Escherichia coli, where it serves to remove signal peptides from secretory proteins. It spans the inner membrane twice with a large C-terminal domain protruding into the periplasmic space. To investigate the importance of the different structural domains for the catalytic activity, we have studied the effects of a large panel of Lep...
