Abstract

The ammo-terminal signal sequence is required for initiation of transmembrane protein transfer of the Escherichia coli λ receptor protein. Mutations leading to insertion of charged amino acids into or deletion of amino acids from the hydrophobic segment of this sequence prevent export of this outer membrane protein.
