DNA sequence encoding the NH2-terminal peptide involved in transport of lambda receptor, an Escherichia coli secretory protein.

Abstract
LamB Encodes the .lambda. receptor of E. coli, an outer membrane protein. The beginning of the lamB gene was identified by correlating DNA nucleotide sequence with a partial sequence of the primary translation product of lamB. Phage .lambda. receptor is synthesized as a precursor containing an extra 25 amino acids at its NH2 terminus. These amino acids are predominately hydrophobic and probably comprise a structure required for initiation of transport of .lambda. receptor from the cytoplasm to the outer membrane.
