The N‐Terminal Sequence Protein of L7/L12 Is Responsible for Its Dimerization

Abstract
Ultracentrifuge studies of intact protein L7/L12 [of Escherichia coli], of its fragments 27-120, 1-74 and 74-120 and of protein L7/L12 with oxidized methionine residues, indicate that the N[amino]-terminal sequence of the protein L7/L12 is responsible for its dimerization. The symmetry model of the dimer is discussed.
