Popis: | OmpT, an outer membrane-localized protease of Escherichia coli, cleaves a number of exogenous and endogenous proteins during their purification. SecY, an endogenous membrane protein, is a target of this artificial proteolysis in vitro. Here we report that SecY cleavage occurs even in cell extracts from ompT-disrupted cells, if they carry an F plasmid derivative. A gene, ompP, on the F plasmid was shown to be responsible for this proteolysis. These results indicate that the absence of an F-like plasmid should be checked when choosing a host strain for E. coli-based protein production. |
