Abstract excerpt
Most extracytoplasmic proteins are synthesized with an N-terminal signal sequence that targets them to the export apparatus. Escherichia coli prlA mutants (altered in the secY gene) are able to export cell envelope proteins lacking any signal sequence. In order to understand how such proteins are targeted for export, we isolated mutations in a signal sequenceless version of alkaline phosphatase that block its...
