Research Abstract |
Integration of membrane-proteins into lipid membranes is strictly regulated with translocon, such as SecYEG complex and YidC. Recently, a novel integration-stimulating factor, suggested a sort of glycolipid, was found out in this integration process. In this study, we succeeded in extraction and purification of this factor from E. coli strain MC4100 and assumed a total structure of this integration factor by structural data obtained by NMR and MS analyses.
