Identification of a Bacillus subtilis secretion mutant using a beta-galactosidase screening procedure
Article Abstract:
The mutant with conditional secretory defects in Bacillus subtilis has been identified by using the screening procedure for characterizing beta-galactorsidase (LacZ) fusion protein activity level. The growth of the mutant decreases after the production of LacZ at 42 degree celsius. At non-permissive temperature, the growth kinetics and secretion of Carlsberg-alkaline phosphate fusion product becomes defective.

The extracytoplasmic folding factor PrsA is required for protein secretion only in the presence of the cell wall in Bacillus subtilis
Article Abstract:
Results reveal that the extracytoplasmic folding factor PrsA is essential for for the folding , stability or secretion of the exported proteins and functions as a chaperone protein. Data indicate that cell wall plays an important role in protein secretion as seen in the release of AmyQ alpha-amylase from the cell membrane in a model system.
