Abstract excerpt
The hydrophobic region of the signal peptide of the OmpA protein of the Escherichia coli outer membrane was extensively altered in its hydrophobicity and predicted secondary structure by site-specific mutagenesis. The mutated signal peptides were fused to nuclease A from Staphylococcus aureus, and the function of the signal peptide was examined by measuring the rate of processing of the signal peptide. Six of the...
