Abstract excerpt
Overexpression of the Escherichia coli phoA gene, coding for alkaline phosphatase (PhoA), on multicopy plasmids caused a severe defect in the precursor processing (secretion) of PhoA, beta-lactamase, and the outer membrane protein OmpA. This secretion defect continued even after the repression of phoA expression, indicating that protein secretion was irreversibly impaired in cells. Among the secretory proteins,...
