Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The chemical cross-linking between the two cysteine residues at positions + 290 and + 302 of proOmpA was performed with N,N'-bis(3-maleimidopropionyl)-2-hydroxy-1,3-propanediamine. In the absence of the proton motive force (delta muH+), the cross-linked proOmpA was only partially translocated into everted membrane vesicles, leading to accumulation of translocation intermediates. In the presence of delta mu H+, the cross-linked proOmpA was completely translocated. The translocated OmpA still possessed the cross-linked loop composed of 13 amino acid residues and the cross-linker. It is concluded that polypeptide chains need not be necessarily linear and fully expanded to be translocated.
