Export pathway selectivity of Escherichia coli twin arginine translocation signal peptides.
The Escherichia coli genome encodes at least 29 putative signal peptides containing a twin arginine motif characteristic of proteins exported via the twin arginine translocation (Tat) pathway. Fusions of the putative Tat signal peptides plus six to eight amino acids of the mature proteins to three reporter proteins (short-lived green fluorescent protein, maltose-binding protein (MBP), and alkal...
متن کاملFunctional periplasmic secretion of organophosphorous hydrolase using the twin-arginine translocation pathway in Escherichia coli.
Recombinant Escherichia coli systems expressing organophosphorous hydrolase (OPH) have been proposed for biotransformation of toxic organophosphate compounds. However, whole cell biocatalyst systems are critically disadvantaged due to substrate diffusion limitations. To enhance whole cell biocatalytic efficiency, we engineered E. coli, for the first time, to secrete metal ion cofactor-requiring...
متن کاملVisualizing Interactions along the Escherichia coli Twin-Arginine Translocation Pathway Using Protein Fragment Complementation
The twin-arginine translocation (Tat) pathway is well known for its ability to export fully folded substrate proteins out of the cytoplasm of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Studies of this mechanism in Escherichia coli have identified numerous transient protein-protein interactions that guide export-competent proteins through the Tat pathway. To visualize these interactions, we have ...
متن کاملThe archaeal twin-arginine translocation pathway.
The twin-arginine translocation (Tat) pathway is a system with the unique ability to export proteins in a fully folded conformation. Its main components are TatA, TatB and TatC, all of which are required for Tat-dependent export. The Tat pathway is found in several Archaea, and in most of them a moderate number of predicted Tat-dependent substrates are present. Putative substrates include those...
متن کاملTwin-arginine translocation pathway in Streptomyces lividans.
The recently discovered bacterial twin-arginine translocation (Tat) pathway was investigated in Streptomyces lividans, a gram-positive organism with a high secretion capacity. The presence of one tatC and two hcf106 homologs in the S. lividans genome together with the several precursor proteins with a twin-arginine motif in their signal peptide suggested the presence of the twin-arginine transl...
