abstract：:The domains of the pore-forming protein responsible for the gate and channel formations were separated and identified in the outer membrane of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The proteolytic cleavage of the 46K channel protein, protein D2, yielded two major domains with apparent M(r) of 27K and 19K. We identified the 27K poly...
