A new periplasmic protein of Escherichia coli which is synthesized in spheroplasts but not in intact cells

J Bacteriol. 1997 Mar;179(6):2073-6. doi: 10.1128/jb.179.6.2073-2076.1997.

Abstract

The gene spy from Escherichia coli has been cloned and sequenced. It encodes a precursor of a so far unknown 139-residue, rather basic periplasmic protein. It was not detectable immunologically in intact cells but was produced abundantly in spheroplasts. It could be a stress protein specific for spheroplasting.
