We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

Structure

Pal is a lipoprotein which is anchored in the outer membrane. Synthesised as a precursor of 173 amino acids, it contains a signal sequence including an LVAC motif.

Pal forms a complex with TolB (see TolB)


Function

During translocation, signal peptidase II cleaves the LVAC motif, and the localisation of Pal is dependent on the Lol protein system.
