To explore the possibility that the PulG precursor could form a pilus-like structure, the PulG sequence was altered in a variety of ways, including (i) replacement of the characteristic hydrophobic region, which is required for the assembly of type IV pilins by the MalE signal peptide, or (...
Whereas the AS-48, MccJ25, GasA, and T pilin precursors comprise a signal peptide followed by the mature peptide domain =-=(33, 37, 47, 55)-=-, the TrbC precursor and the precursors of some circular proteins from plants and mammals also include N-terminal proregions and C-terminal ...
