Abstract excerpt
The rotA gene of Escherichia coli encodes a peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase (PPIase), which is supposed to catalyse protein folding in the periplasm. To investigate the importance of the enzyme, the rotA gene was cloned and a chromosomal deletion mutant was created. The rotA mutant was normally viable. No residual PPIase activity could be detected in the periplasmic fraction of the mutant. Comparison of the...
