Abstract excerpt
Members of a group of multimeric secretion pores that assemble independently of any known membrane-embedded insertase in Gram-negative bacteria fold into a prepore before membrane-insertion occurs. The mechanisms and the energetics that drive the folding of these proteins are poorly understood. Here, equilibrium unfolding and hydrogen/deuterium exchange monitored by mass spectrometry indicated that a loss of 4-5...
