X Abstract

Secretion of fusion proteins composed of cytoplasmic protein dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and the Escherichia coli alpha-haemolysin (HlyA) C-terminal sequence was examined through the haemolysin secretion machinery of E. coli. DHFR of various lengths was combined with the HlyA C-terminal region, and both secretion and DHFR activity of the fusions were measured. The secretion was found to be inversely correlated with the intracellular DHFR activity. Moreover, when one amino acid (Ile155) in a beta-sheet of the DHFR C-terminal region was replaced with Lys, the enzymatically active DHFR fusion protein was secreted into the medium. We discuss the possibility of a relationship between folding and secretion of HlyA-fused protein in the HlyA secretion system.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
