Effects of signal peptide primary structure on efficiency of recombinant Staphylococcus aureus pro-enterotoxin A transmembrane translocation in E. coli cells

摘要

Enterotoxin A containing various leader sequences have been obtained by site-driven mutagenesis. Some of them were capable of providing the translocation of recombinant SEA to E. coli periplasmic space. Structure of C-region of the signal peptide is essential for intracellular protein location. Substitution of a more common to E. coli proproteins Ala-Ser-Ala for the authentic sequence of Val-Asn-Gly is the most important in recognition by signal peptidase type I.
