Abstract excerpt
A global search for extracytoplasmic folding catalysts in Escherichia coli was undertaken using different genetic systems that produce unstable or misfolded proteins in the periplasm. The extent of misfolding was monitored by the increased activity of the sigma E regulon that is specifically induced by misfolded proteins in the periplasm. Using multicopy libraries, we cloned two genes, surA and fkpA, that...
