RESUMO
The outer membranes of Escherichia coli K-12 cells carrying a derepressed F-like R factor contain about 7 times 10-4 molecules per cell of a protein similar to the subunit of the sex pili specified by the R factor. This protein pool is absent in cells carrying the repressed variant of the R factor. The size of the pool is about one-half of the amount of protein incorporated into mature sex pili at the peak of production and is independent of the phase of growth of the culture. The molecular weight of the protein in the pool and of the subunit of the sex pili specified by the cells is 12,500 plus or minus 600.
