Abstract
A detailed nuclear magnetic resonance analysis of the isolated LamB signal peptide (MMITLRKLPLAVAVAAGVMSAQAMA) under conditions defined by circular dichroism spectra to mimic the conformational distribution of this peptide in membranelike environments has provided a description of specific residue conformational preferences. This 25-residue long peptide in 20 mol % trifluoroethanol in water is in dynamic equilibrium between a helical and a more random conformation, and this equilibrium is shifted toward the more random structure as the temperature is raised. Part of the molecule, residues 10-18, exists in a stable helix at all temperatures studied (5, 25, and 50 degrees C). Propagation of the helix through the C-terminal end occurs at 25 degrees C, while the temperature must be lowered to 5 degrees C to observe any significant population of a helical conformation in the N-terminal region. These results argue that the Pro and Gly residues, which flank the helical segment, act to disfavor helix propagation on their N- or C-terminal sides, respectively. The influence of the Pro residue is stronger than that of the Gly. Furthermore, the most stable part of the helix in this signal peptide under the conditions studied is the hydrophobic core, which is the hallmark of functional signal sequences.

Abstract
The Escherichia coli fepB gene encodes a periplasmic protein required for ferrienterobactin transport; four fepB-related polypeptides are resolved by standard sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In vitro DNA-directed protein-synthesizing systems and experiments with the inhibitors dinitrophenol, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, and ethanol demonstrated that the initial fepB translation product is processed. The nucleotide sequence of fepB and neighboring regions was determined. The predicted proFepB has a molecular weight of 34,255, consists of 318 amino acids, and is devoid of cysteine residues. A leader peptide is present, as are three possible leader peptidase cleavage sites after positions 22, 23, and 26. The upstream regulatory region included a Fur box, indicating that fepB is iron regulated, which was verified by RNA dot blot experiments. The regulatory region included a 68-amino-acid open reading frame (ORF) that encompassed a sequence capable of forming a large stem-and-loop structure. Indirect evidence indicated that this ORF must be translated for fepB transcription to occur. Six copies of the nonomer CCCTC(A/T)CCC or its invert were present in the stem-and-loop region. An ORF of unknown significance was found downstream from fepB; its product would have a molecular weight of 18,036 and be rich in proline and alanine. Processing of proFepB remains unclear, but the appearance of the three smaller members of the FepB family required the action of leader peptidase and the presence of the entire fepB gene.

Abstract
The rpoH gene of Escherichia coli encodes sigma 32, the 32-kD sigma-factor responsible for the heat-inducible transcription of the heat shock genes. rpoH is transcribed from at least three promoters. Two of these promoters are recognized by RNA polymerase containing sigma 70, the predominant sigma-factor. We purified the factor responsible for recognizing the third rpoH promoter (rpoH P3) and identified it as RNA polymerase containing a novel sigma-factor with an apparent Mr of 24,000. This new sigma, which we call sigma E, is distinct from the known sigma factors in molecular weight and promoter specificity. sigma E holoenzyme will not recognize the sigma 70- or sigma 32-controlled promoters we tested, but it does transcribe the htrA gene, which is required for viability at temperatures greater than 42 degrees C. The in vivo role of sigma E is not known. The transcripts from the sigma E-controlled rpoH P3 and htrA promoters are most abundant at very high temperature, suggesting the sigma E holoenzyme may transcribe a second set of heat-inducible genes that are involved in growth at high temperature or in thermotolerance.

Abstract
Most proteins exported from mammalian cells contain a signal sequence which mediates targeting to and insertion into the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Involved in this process are the signal-recognition particle (SRP) and docking protein (DP), the receptor for SRP in the ER membrane. SRP interacts with the signal sequence on nascent polypeptide chains and retards their further elongation, which resumes only after interaction of the arrested ribosomal complex with the docking protein. SRP is a ribonucleoprotein particle comprising a 7S RNA and six polypeptides with relative molecular masses (Mr) of 9,000 (9K) 14K, 19K, 54K, 68K and 72K (ref. 1). The 9K and 14K proteins are essential for elongation arrest and the 68K-72K heterodimer is required for docking to the ER membrane. The 54K protein binds to the signal sequence when it emerges from the ribosome. Docking protein consists of two polypeptides, a 72K alpha-subunit (DP alpha) and a 30K beta-subunit (DP beta). No components structurally homologous to SRP and docking protein have yet been found in yeast or Escherichia coli. To understand the molecular nature of the interaction between the signal sequence and its receptor(s) we have characterized a complementary DNA coding for the 54K protein of SRP. Significant sequence homology was found to part of DP alpha and two E. coli proteins of unknown function. The homologous region includes a putative GTP-binding domain.

Abstract
Overexpression of the divalent cation-regulated outer membrane protein H1 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is associated with resistance to polymyxin B, aminoglycosides, and EDTA. Protein H1 is believed to act by replacing divalent cations at binding sites on lipopolysaccharide, thereby preventing disruption of the sites and subsequent self-promoted uptake of the antibiotics. Protein H1 purified by two cycles of anion-exchange chromatography was apparently associated with lipopolysaccharide. Lipopolysaccharide-free protein H1 was purified in high yield by preparative sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and was subjected to N-terminal amino sequencing. Complementary oligodeoxyribonucleotides were used to clone the structural gene for protein H1, oprH, into Escherichia coli. Successful cloning was confirmed by nucleotide sequence analysis. Southern hybridization suggested that oprH was present as a single-copy gene in P. aeruginosa. The deduced amino acid sequence revealed that H1 was a slightly basic polypeptide of 178 residues, with a leader sequence typical of an exported procaryotic protein. It had little similarity, however, to other bacterial surface proteins for which sequence data were available. No expression of protein H1, from its own or the lac promoter, was detected in E. coli. We concluded that, as for some other regulated Pseudomonas genes, expression of oprH, at least under some conditions, is blocked in E. coli.

Abstract
An apo form of cytochrome cd1 (nitrite reductase) of Paracoccus denitrificans has been detected immunologically in the periplasm of a mutant that lacks all c-type cytochromes. A method for the preparation of apo-nitrite reductase (lacking both c- and d-type haem) from the holoenzyme of wild-type cells has been developed. The apoprotein synthesized by the mutant is indistinguishable from the chemically prepared apoprotein in respect of: (i) subunit molecular weight; (ii) formation of a homodimer; (iii) properties on anion exchange chromatography. The holoenzyme has similar properties in respect of (i) and (ii) but behaves differently during anion exchange. A suggested mode of assembly of cytochrome cd1 is translocation into the periplasm of a precursor polypeptide, maturation by a signal peptidase to give an apoprotein identical to that prepared chemically from the holoenzyme, followed by insertion of c-type and d-type haem in an as yet unknown order.

Abstract
Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis was employed to investigate the role of the hydrophilic segment of the Escherichia coli maltose-binding protein (MBP) signal peptide in the protein export process. The three basic residues residing at the amino terminus of the signal peptide were systematically substituted with neutral or acidic residues, decreasing the net charge in a stepwise fashion from +3 to -3. It was found that a net positive charge was not absolutely required for MBP export to the periplasm. However, export was most rapid and efficient when the signal peptide retained at least a single basic residue and a net charge of +1. The nature of the adjacent hydrophobic core helped to determine the effect of charge changes in the hydrophilic segment on MBP export, which suggested that these two regions of the signal peptide do not have totally distinct functions. Although the stepwise decrease in net charge of the signal peptide also resulted in a progressive decrease in the level of MBP synthesis, the data do not readily support a model in which MBP synthesis and export are obligately coupled events. The export defect resulting from alterations in the hydrophilic segment was partially suppressed in strains harboring certain prl alleles but not in strains harboring prlA alleles that are highly efficient suppressors of signal sequence mutations that alter the hydrophobic core.

Abstract
The requirements for the translocation of prolipoprotein into membrane vesicles were examined in an in vitro system. As measured by the eventual modification and processing of the prolipoprotein to form mature lipoprotein, the overall translocation process was found to require ATP hydrolysis, the presence of some heat-labile soluble cytoplasmic translocation factors, and the function of a cytoplasmic membrane protein, SecY/PrlA. However, the initial step of complete insertion of prolipoprotein into the membrane vesicles occurred without apparent requirements of a nucleotide, cytoplasmic translocation factors, or a functional SecY/PrlA membrane protein. Immunopurified prolipoprotein spontaneously inserted into membrane vesicles at elevated temperatures and required ATP and cytoplasmic translocation factors to form mature lipoprotein. The prolipoprotein inserted most efficiently into liposomes made of negatively charged phospholipids, indicating the importance of phospholipids in protein translocation. These results suggest that ATP hydrolysis and the actions of both cytoplasmic translocation factors and a functional SecY/PrlA membrane protein occur at a step(s) after the insertion of the precursors into membrane vesicles. The initial step of spontaneous insertion of prolipoprotein into membranes is in good agreement with membrane trigger hypothesis proposed by W. Wickner (Annu. Rev. Biochem. 48:23-45, 1979) and the helical hairpin hypothesis proposed by D. M. Engleman and T. A. Steitz (Cell 23:411-422, 1981).

Abstract
Passage of proteins across membranes during export from their site of synthesis to their final destination is mediated by leader peptides that paradoxically exhibit a unity of function in spite of a diversity of sequence. These leader peptides act in at least two stages of the export process: at entry into the pathway and subsequently during translocation across the membrane. How selectivity is imposed on the system in the absence of a consensus among the sequences of leader peptides is the main issue discussed here.

Abstract
The earliest events in the export of secretory proteins from eukaryotic cells are their insertion into and transport across the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, followed by signal peptide cleavage and transfer of core oligosaccharides to specific asparagine residues. Much has been learned through reconstitution of these processes in vitro using cell-free extracts prepared from mammalian and yeast cells. Now, a combination of genetic, molecular and biochemical approaches are being employed to study the early stages of protein secretion in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Abstract
Most mitochondrial proteins are synthesized as precursor proteins on cytosolic polysomes and are subsequently imported into mitochondria. Many precursors carry amino-terminal presequences which contain information for their targeting to mitochondria. In several cases, targeting and sorting information is also contained in non-amino-terminal portions of the precursor protein. Nucleoside triphosphates are required to keep precursors in an import-competent (unfolded) conformation. The precursors bind to specific receptor proteins on the mitochondrial surface and interact with a general insertion protein (GIP) in the outer membrane. The initial interaction of the precursor with the inner membrane requires the mitochondrial membrane potential (delta psi) and occurs at contact sites between outer and inner membranes. Completion of translocation into the inner membrane or matrix is independent of delta psi. The presequences are cleaved off by the processing peptidase in the mitochondrial matrix. In several cases, a second proteolytic processing event is performed in either the matrix or in the intermembrane space. Other modifications can occur such as the addition of prosthetic groups (e.g., heme or Fe/S clusters). Some precursors of proteins of the intermembrane space or the outer surface of the inner membrane are retranslocated from the matrix space across the inner membrane to their functional destination ('conservative sorting'). Finally, many proteins are assembled in multi-subunit complexes. Exceptions to this general import pathway are known. Precursors of outer membrane proteins are transported directly into the outer membrane in a receptor-dependent manner. The precursor of cytochrome c is directly translocated across the outer membrane and thereby reaches the intermembrane space. In addition to the general sequence of events which occurs during mitochondrial protein import, current research focuses on the molecules themselves that are involved in these processes.

Abstract
Mutations previously designated prlD were described that suppressed malE signal sequence mutations and were located in the vicinity of the secA gene on the Escherichia coli chromosome. In this study, we demonstrated that four such independently isolated prlD mutations represented three unique single-base substitutions in secA, resulting in alterations at residues 111, 373, and 488 of the 901-residue SecA protein. Heretofore, the only mutations that had been described for secA were located early in the gene and resulted in a general protein export defect. Insertion mutations in the cloned gene X-secA operon that reduced or eliminated suppression by a prlD mutation also have been obtained. The properties of these suppressor and insertion mutations provide some insight into the role of SecA in the protein export process.

Abstract
Genetic analysis of protein secretion in Escherichia coli has identified secY/prlA and secA as components of the secretory apparatus. We have examined the roles of the secY(prlA) gene product (an integral membrane protein) and the soluble secA gene product in translocation of OmpA and alkaline phosphatase precursors in an in vitro system. The protein translocation defect of the secY24 mutation was recently demonstrated in vitro as was its suppression by an S300 extract. We show here that the extract was essentially inactive in SecY24 suppression when SecA protein was removed from it by immunoaffinity chromatography. Furthermore, purified SecA protein suppressed the SecY24 defect. Preincubation of the inactivated SecY24 membrane vesicles either with S300 containing SecA or with purified SecA protein reconstituted the membranes and restored the translocation activity when assayed in the absence of additional soluble proteins. These results suggest that the SecY24 translocation defect is suppressed by SecA interacting, directly or indirectly, with SecY24 on the cytoplasmic membrane.

Abstract
The FhuA protein (formerly TonA) is located in the outer membrane of Escherichia coli K12. Fusions between fhuA and phoA genes were constructed. They determined proteins containing a truncated but still active alkaline phosphatase of constant size and a variable FhuA portion which ranged from 11%-90% of the mature FhuA protein. The fusion sites were nearly randomly distributed along the FhuA protein. The FhuA segments directed the secretion of the truncated alkaline phosphatase across the cytoplasmic membrane. The fusion proteins were proteolytically degraded up to the size of alkaline phosphatase and no longer reacted with anti-FhuA antibodies. The fusion proteins were more stable in lon and pep mutants lacking cytoplasmic protease and peptidases, respectively. The larger fusion proteins above a molecular weight of 64,000 dalton were predominantly found in the outer membrane fraction. They were degraded by trypsin when cells were converted to spheroplasts so that trypsin gained access to the periplasm. In contrast, FhuA protein in the outer membrane was largely resistant to trypsin. It is concluded that the larger FhuA'-'PhoA fusion proteins were associated with, but not properly integrated into, the outer membrane.

Abstract
During the process of export of maltose-binding protein to the periplasm of Escherichia coli, the leader peptide is involved in at least two steps. The presence of the leader portion of maltose-binding protein was shown to be necessary to mediate initial binding of the precursor to the membrane. However, the presence of a mutationally altered leader which does not sustain export in vivo was sufficient to allow this interaction. Thus, the defect in export which is manifested in vivo by this mutational substitution occurs at a step that follows membrane association, most likely the translocation step. Translocation occurs at discrete sites that are not uniformly distributed over the cytoplasmic membrane. A large proportion of the membrane involved in translocation has a higher density than that of bulk cytoplasmic membrane.

Abstract
It has been suggested that newly synthesized proteins are maintained in their unfolded state by cellular ATP-driven factors which may prevent or reverse the formation of misfolded structures or promote the correct assembly of oligomeric proteins or post-translational secretion. Using a photocross-linking approach, we have identified the 20S heat-shock GroEL protein as the major cytosolic component which forms a complex with the unfolded newly synthesized pre-beta-lactamase or chloramphenicol acetyltransferase in Escherichia coli. Dissociation of these complexes is ATP-dependent. The unfolded state of pre-beta-lactamase, maintained by the transient interaction with GroEL, may be essential for the secretion of this protein.

Abstract
The methanol-soluble heat-stable enterotoxin gene (estA4) of Escherichia coli (STA4) yielded 128-fold more toxin when expressed by a T7 RNA polymerase driven system than when driven by its own promoter. Analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of in vivo [35S]cysteine radiolabeled products of the cloned gene revealed an apparent molecular mass larger than that expected for a 19 amino acid polypeptide (mol. wt. 2049). Purified [125I]radiolabeled enterotoxin, STA1 (mol. wt. 1979) showed an Mr of 3800 when reduced, 2000 when reduced and carboxylated, and 14,500 when reduced and carboxyamidated. Similar changes after carboxyamidation were obtained with two different chemically synthesized STAs. These unusual electrophoretic mobilities were shown to be common to all STAs studied. Alkylation of the reduced STA species occurred only at the six cysteine residues of the toxin. Upon gel filtration the native, reduced, and reduced and alkylated forms of STAs eluted from the column in close agreement to the molecular weight expected from the known amino acid composition of the peptides.

Abstract
The genes encoding the multiprotein membrane-bound ribosomal protein (MBRP) complex (mrp genes), associated with membrane-bound ribosomes in Staphylococcus aureus, were cloned in Escherichia coli. All four components (molecular sizes 71, 60, 46, and 41 kilodaltons) of the MBRP complex were expressed from an 8.5-kilobase DNA fragment as judged by Western blot (immunoblot) analysis. The order of the individual genes within the cloned DNA fragment was determined by deletion mutagenesis and subcloning of various restriction fragments. Three RNAs, transcribed from the same DNA strand, were identified within the MBRP-coding region: one large RNA of approximately 5.9 kilobases, presumably coding for all four MBRP components, and two minor RNAs, coding for MBRP-71 and MBRP-60. The two minor RNAs seemed to be transcribed from promoters within the large transcription unit. Attempts to make insertional inactivations of the mrp genes with an internal 600-base-pair DNA fragment of the MBRP-coding region as a target were unsuccessful, presumably because such insertions are lethal.

Abstract
Six mutations in malE, the structural gene for the periplasmic maltose-binding protein (MBP) from Escherichia coli, prevent growth on maltose as a carbon source, as well as release of the mutant proteins by the cold osmotic-shock procedure. These mutations correspond to insertion of an oligonucleotide linker, concomitant with a deletion. One of the mutations (malE127) affects the N-terminal extension (the signal peptide), whereas the five others lie within the mature protein. As expected, the export of protein MalE127 is blocked at an early stage. This protein is neither processed to maturity nor sensitive to proteinase K in spheroplasts. In contrast, in the five other mutants, the signal peptide is cleaved and the protein is accessible to proteinase K added to spheroplasts. This indicates that the five mutant proteins are, at least in part, exported through the inner membrane. We propose that the corresponding mutations define two regions of the mature protein (between residues 18 and 42 and between residues 280 and 306), which are important for release of the protein from the inner membrane into the periplasm. We discuss the results in terms of possible conformational changes at this late step of export to the periplasm.

Abstract
The different conformations of the outer membrane protein OmpF of Escherichia coli B were studied with immunological probes. The antigenic determinants recognized by one monoclonal (MoF3) and two polyclonal antibodies were investigated under various conditions of solubilization which modify the association of OmpF with other membrane components, such as lipopolysaccharide. Several polymeric forms of the protein could be detected after extraction at 37 degrees C or 56 degrees C. The monoclonal antibody, which is specific to an exposed region of native OmpF, recognized various trimeric forms in an immunoprecipitation assay. Under the same conditions, the binding of polyclonal antibodies apparently induced strong conformational rearrangements, since the pattern of trimeric forms detected was greatly modified. The conversion of newly synthesized monomers of OmpF to the various trimer forms was investigated using these antibodies. The trimerization occurred rapidly but the appearance of the native conformation of OmpF was delayed. Some additional step was required to expose the MoF3-specific antigenic site at the surface of the trimeric form. These results are discussed in relation to the structure of OmpF and its association with lipopolysaccharide in the outer membrane.

Abstract
Translocation of precursor proteins from the cytosol into mitochondria is a multi-step process. The generation of translocation intermediates, i.e. the reversible accumulation of precursors at distinct stages of their import pathway into mitochondria ('translocation arrest'), has allowed the experimental characterization of distinct functional steps of protein import. These steps include: ATP-dependent unfolding of precursors; specific recognition of precursors by distinct receptors on the mitochondrial surface; interaction of precursors; specific recognition of precursors by distinct receptors on the mitochondrial surface; interaction of precursors with a general insertion protein ('GIP') in the outer mitochondrial membrane; membrane-potential-dependent translocation into the inner membrane at contact sites between both membranes; proteolytic processing of precursors; and intramitochondrial sorting of precursors via the matrix space ('conservative sorting'). The functional characteristics unveiled by studying mitochondrial protein import appear to be of general interest for investigations on intracellular protein sorting.

Abstract
A mutant of Escherichia coli lacking protease VII, the outer membrane-associated protease which specifically cleaves paired basic residues (1), was isolated by using N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine treatment. The mutant exhibited no significant change as for its growth rate and microscopic feature compared with wild cells. The gene encoding protease VII was cloned by using complementation analysis of protease VII (-) mutation. The minicell experiment showed that the gene encoded a putative precursor protein of 38,000 Mr which was processed into a protein of 36,000 Mr suggesting the presence of a signal peptide on the putative precursor.

Abstract
The regulation of synthesis and export of outer membrane proteins of Escherichia coli was examined by overexpressing ompC in multicopy either from its own promoter or from an inducible promoter in an expression vector. Overexpression of OmpC protein resulted in a nearly complete inhibition of synthesis of the OmpA and LamB outer membrane proteins but had no effect on synthesis of the periplasmic maltose-binding protein. Immunoprecipitation of labeled proteins showed no evidence of accumulation of uncleaved precursor forms of OmpA or maltose-binding protein following induction of OmpC overexpression. The inhibition of OmpA and LamB was tightly coupled to OmpC overexpression and occurred very rapidly, reaching a high level within 2 min after induction. OmpC overexpression did not cause a significant decrease in expression of a LamB-LacZ hybrid protein produced from a lamB-lacZ fusion in which the fusion joint was at the second amino acid of the LamB signal sequence. There was no significant decrease in rate of synthesis of ompA mRNA as measured by filter hybridization of pulse-labeled RNA. These results indicate that the inhibition is at the level of translation. We propose that cells are able to monitor expression of exported proteins by sensing occupancy of some limiting component in the export machinery and use this to regulate translation of these proteins.

Abstract
Evidence is presented that the E. coli secB gene encodes a soluble protein that interacts with the mature region of the precursor maltose-binding protein (MBP), and promotes MBP export by preventing premature folding of the newly synthesized polypeptide into an export-incompetent form. The interaction of SecB with MBP was indicated by the finding that synthesis of various export-defective MBP species interfered with normal protein export by limiting SecB availability. The antifolding activity of SecB was demonstrated by the following: the defect in MBP export in SecB- cells was suppressed by mutational alterations affecting MBP folding; export of a mutant MBP that is accomplished in a strictly posttranslational mode was totally blocked in SecB- cells; and the rate of folding of wild-type MBP synthesized in vitro was found to be accelerated when SecB was absent and greatly retarded when excess SecB was present.

Abstract
We have determined that prepro-carboxypeptidase Y and a truncated form of pre-invertase can be translocated across the yeast microsomal membrane post-translationally in a homologous in vitro system. The yeast secretory protein prepro-alpha-factor which was previously shown to be an efficient posttranslational translocation substrate is therefore not unique in this regard, but rather the yeast ER protein translocation machinery is generally capable of accepting substrates from a ribosome-free, soluble pool. However, within our detection limits, full-length pre-invertase could not be translocated posttranslationally, but was translocated co-translationally. This indicates that not every fully synthesized pre-protein can use this pathway, presumably because normal or aberrant folding characteristics can interfere with translocation competence.

Abstract
Leader peptides that function to direct export of proteins through membranes have some common features but exhibit a remarkable sequence diversity. Thus there is some question whether leader peptides exert their function through conventional stereospecific protein-protein interaction. Here it is shown that the leader peptides retarded the folding of precursor maltose-binding protein and ribose-binding protein from Escherichia coli. This kinetic effect may be crucial in allowing precursors to enter the export pathway.
