Interactions of Escherichia coli membrane lipoproteins with the murein sacculus.

摘要: Abstract Bifunctional cross-linking reagents were used to identify cell envelope proteins that interacted with the murein sacculus. This revealed a number of [3H]leucine-labeled and [3H]palmitate-labeled lipoproteins reproducibly cross-linked sacculus in plasmolyzed cells. The results suggested most lipoproteins, not only lipoprotein, mediate interactions between inner and/or outer membrane cell.
