Selective extracellular release of cholera toxin B subunit by Escherichia coli : Dissection of Neisseria Iga sub( beta )-mediated outer membrane transport

The C-terminal domain (Iga sub( beta )) of the Neisseria) IgA protease precursor is involved in the transport of covalently attached proteins across the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. We investigated outer membrane transport in Escherichia coli using fusion proteins consisting of an N-ter...

Summary:The C-terminal domain (Iga sub( beta )) of the Neisseria) IgA protease precursor is involved in the transport of covalently attached proteins across the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. We investigated outer membrane transport in Escherichia coli using fusion proteins consisting of an N-terminal signal sequence for inner membrane transport, the Vibrio cholerae toxin B subunit (CtxB) as a passenger and Iga sub( beta ).
