Abstract
Studies of the synthesis of membrane-bound coat protein of M13 virus reveal general themes of protein secretion and membrane assembly. These include: (i) soluble intermediates in membrane assembly, (ii) a requirement for the membrane electrical potential to drive protein insertion, and (iii) accurate cleavage by leader peptidase. These themes of coat-protein biosynthesis are discussed with respect to the secreted and membrane proteins of bacteria and eukaryotes.
