Intermediate location in the assembly of the matrix protein or porin into the outer membrane of Escherichia coli.

A Boyd, I B Holland
PMCID: PMC294554  PMID: 6997280

Abstract

Evidence from pulse-chase experiments indicates that the outer membrane matrix protein or porin of Escherichia coli B/r passes through a Sarkosyl-soluble membrane pool on the way to its eventual Sarkosyl-insoluble state in the outer membrane.
