Studies of the subtilin leader peptide as a translocation signal in Escherichia coli K12.

abstract：:Tolaasin is a peptide toxin produced by Pseudomonas tolaasii and causes brown blotch disease of the cultivated mushrooms. Two types of ion channels were identified by the incorporation of tolaasin into lipid bilayer. The slope conductance of type 1 channel measured in the buffer containing 100 mM KCl was 150 pS with a...
