PelB leader sequence

PelB leader sequence

The pelB leader sequence is a sequence of amino acids which when attached to a protein, directs the protein to the periplasmic membrane of "E. coli", where the sequence is removed by pelB peptidase. It is used to direct coat protein-antigen fusions to the cell surface for construction of engineered bacteriophage for the purpose of phage display.
