+2 rule for lipoprotein sorting
Whether E. coli lipoproteins are located in the inner or outer membrane is determined almost entirely by the amino acid residue present at position +2.[1] Lipoproteins with an aspartate at +2 are retained in the inner membrane, although the residue at position 3 can perturb this. The LolCDE, LolA, and LolB proteins have critical roles in lipoprotein sorting.[2] [3] [4]
