Abstract excerpt
Three molecular foldases, DsbA, DsbC, and rotamase (ppiA), exhibited the unusual property of accumulating in an osmotically sensitive cellular compartment of Escherichia coli when their signal sequences were precisely removed by mutation. A mammalian protein, interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist, behaved in a similar fashion in E. coli when its native signal sequence was deleted. These leaderless mutants (but...
