The Bacteroidetes Q-rule and glutaminyl cyclase activity increase the stability of extracytoplasmic proteins

ABSTRACT In Gram-negative didermal species of the phylum Bacteroidetes, the majority of pre(pro)proteins exported across the cell membrane via the Sec system follow the Q-rule: a glutamine residue immediately downstream of a leader peptide is exposed as the new amino terminus by type I signal peptid...
