Ultrastructure of paracrystals of a lipoprotein from the outer membrane of Escherichia coli.

Abstract:

:The highly purified lipoprotein of the outer membrane of Escherichia coli forms paracrystals. The ultrastructures of these paracrystals were examined by electron microscopy. The needle-shaped paracrystals show several different band patterns, depending on conditions of paracrystallization. Models are presented to explain possible arrangements of the lipoprotein molecules within the paracrystals.

  • Carboxyl-terminal processing of the cytoplasmic NAD-reducing hydrogenase of Alcaligenes eutrophus requires the hoxW gene product.

    abstract::Two open reading frames (ORFs) were identified immediately downstream of the four structural genes for the soluble hydrogenase (SH) of Alcaligenes eutrophus H16. While a mutation in ORF2 had no obvious effect on hydrogen metabolism, an in-frame deletion in ORF1, subsequently designated hoxW, led to a complete loss of ...
