Signal sequence mutants of beta-lactamase

JT Kadonaga, A Pluckthun and JR Knowles

The function of the NH2-terminal signal peptide in the translocation of beta-lactamase across the inner membrane of Escherichia coli has been studied by characterization of 15 signal sequence mutants. Three amino acid substitutions (Pro 20 to Ser, Pro 20 to Phe, and Cys 18 to Tyr) in the 23-amino acid signal sequence each cause, to varying degrees, a defect in the proteolytic processing of pre-beta-lactamase, abnormal growth of the host strain, and a severe reduction in the expression of beta-lactamase in vivo but not in vitro. The results are consistent with a model for protein secretion in E. coli that parallels the pathway proposed for translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum in eucaryotic cells.
