title: Study of the Stn protein in Salmonella; a regulator of membrane composition and integrity.
abstract: Our studies were undertaken to develop new insights into the function of the Salmonella Stn protein. An analysis of total cell membrane protein fraction suggested the possibility that Stn associates with OmpA. This possibility was confirmed by immunogold labeling using anti-OmpA antibody and far-western blotting. From these results, we conclude that Stn regulates membrane composition and integrity in Salmonella.
