Folding and assembly of bacterial alkaline phosphatase in vitro and in vivo.
1 Apr 1993
Abstract excerpt
Alkaline phosphatase (PhoA), localized in the periplasmic space of Escherichia coli, is a homodimeric metalloprotein containing two intramolecular disulfide bonds. We attempted to clarify the folding-assembly pathways of this enzyme by allowing in vitro-synthesized PhoA polypeptide to fold into active enzyme and by examining the occurrence of similar pathways in vivo by pulse-chase experiments. PhoA (lacking the...
