Disulfide bonds are rarely found in cytoplasmic proteins. Mutations were selected for in Escherichia coli that allow disulfide bond formation in the cytoplasm. In the presence of these mutations, export-defective versions of alkaline phosphatase and mouse urokinase were able to fold into their enzymatically active conformations in the cytoplasm because their disulfide bonds were formed. The mutations were mapped...
