Modified Recombinant Proteins Can Be Exported via the Sec Pathway in Escherichia coli
The correct folding of a protein is a pre-requirement for its proper posttranslational modification. The Escherichia coli Sec pathway, in which preproteins, in an unfolded, translocation-competent state, are rapidly secreted across the cytoplasmic membrane, is commonly assumed to be unfavorable for their modification in the cytosol. Whether posttranslationally modified recombinant preproteins c...
متن کاملPrecursors of nicotinic acid in Escherichia coli.
It has now been firmly established that mammals and Neurospora are able to convert tryptophan to nicotinic acid via a biosynthetic pathway which contains several well characterized intermediate compounds (2). However, evidence has been accumulating which indicates that in bacteria the biosynthesis of nicotinic acid is accomplished by a different pathway. Volcani and Snell (3) demonstrated that ...
متن کاملIncreased expression of the bifunctional protein PrlF suppresses overproduction lethality associated with exported beta-galactosidase hybrid proteins in Escherichia coli.
We have cloned and determined the nucleotide sequence of the prlF gene. An open reading frame predicting a 111-amino-acid protein (Mr 12,351) with an acidic carboxy terminus was identified. The DNA sequence preceding this open reading frame revealed a putative promoter and a ribosome-binding site. The nucleotide sequence of the prlF1 mutation revealed a 7-base-pair duplication resulting in a sl...
متن کاملTatD is a central component of a Tat translocon-initiated quality control system for exported FeS proteins in Escherichia coli.
Bacterial Tat systems export folded proteins, including FeS proteins such as NrfC and NapG, which acquire their cofactors before translocation. NrfC and NapG are proofread by the Tat pathway, and misfolded examples are degraded after interaction with the translocon. Here, we identify TatD as a crucial component of this quality control system in Escherichia coli. NrfC/NapG variants lacking FeS c...
متن کاملMethylation of ribosomal proteins in Escherichia coli.
Escherichia coli was grown in a medium containing [1-(14)C]methionine and [methyl-(3)H]methionine, and the (3)H/(14)C ratio was determined for each of the ribosomal proteins derived from the 70S ribosome. Evidence indicates that six proteins from the 50S subunit were methylated: L7, L9, L11, L12, L18, and L33. Methylation of several other 50S proteins (such as L1, L3, L5, etc.) may also occur. ...
