  • (19) This sequence predicts TolA to be a 421-amino-acid protein of molecular mass 44,190 daltons.
  • (20) tolA-876 staA strains partially recovered a wild-type phenotype: they exported alkaline phosphatase and beta-lactamase into the periplasm and only released very low amounts of periplasmic proteins; moreover, they were sensitive to E1 and A colicins and more resistant than tolA-876 staA+ strains to various growth inhibitors.
