Bacilli secrete numerous proteins into the environment. Many of the secretory proteins, their
export signals, and their processing steps during secretion have been characterized in …

Most modern reviews about bacterial cell wall properties use the traditional classification of
prokaryotic envelopes as either gram positive or gram negative (27, 30). Mainly based on …

Gram-negative bacteria have an outer membrane (OM) that functions as a barrier to protect
the cell from toxic compounds such as antibiotics and detergents. The OM is a highly …

The cell wall of gram-positive bacteria can be thought of as representing a unique cell
compartment, which contains anchored surface proteins that require specific sorting signals …

From the increasing number of reports of eukaryotic polypeptide synthesisin E. coli it is clear
that the mode ofexpression affects not only the efficiency ofproduction, but the nature of the …

Bacterial outer membrane proteins are supposed to span the membrane repeatedly, mostly
in the form of amphipathic β-sheets. The last ten C-terminal amino acid residues of PhoE …

Summary Ribonuciease E (RNAase E) was isolated in a complex that also contained
poiynucleotide phosphoryiase (PNPase). Besides copurification, evidence for an …

Escherichia coli is the most common gram-negative bacteria causing meningitis during the
neonatal period, but is unclear what microbial factors mediate traversal of E. coli across the …

We examined whether outer membrane protein A (OmpA) contributes to gram-negative
pathogenesis by determining the effect of mutagenesis of ompA in a virulent Escherichia coli …

The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria presents an effective barrier that restricts the
release of proteins from the cell. Virtually all extracellular proteins of Gram-negative bacteria …
