Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Inclusion body (IB) formation in bacteria is an important example of protein misassembly, a phenomenon which also includes folding-dependent aggregation in vitro and amyloid deposition in human disease. Previous studies of mutational effects in other systems implicate the stability of a folding intermediate-rather than the native state-as playing a key role in IB formation. To contribute to an...
