Abstract excerpt
Many cytoplasmic proteins without a cleavable signal peptide, including enolase, are secreted during the stationary phase in Bacillus subtilis but the molecular mechanism is not yet clear. We previously identified a highly conserved embedded membrane domain in an internal hydrophobic α-helix of enolase that plays an important role in its secretion. In this study, we examined the role of the helix in more detail...
