Assembly In Vivo of Enterotoxin from Escherichia coli: Formation of the B Subunit Oligomer |
|
| Authors: | Timothy R. Hirst Simon J. S. Hardy Linda L. Randall |
| Abstract: | An oligomer of the B subunit of heat-labile enterotoxin of Escherichia coli has been observed in minicells and in whole cells. There is a delay after synthesis of the B subunit before it appears in the oligomer. The delay is not due to slow processing of the precursor. A similar delay in oligomerization of the major outer membrane protein OmpF is also described. |
