Autotransporter protein secretion [PDF]
Autotransporter proteins are a large family of virulence factors secreted from Gram-negative bacteria by a unique mechanism. First described in the 1980s, these proteins have a C-terminal region that folds into a β-barrel in the bacterial outer membrane.

Regulation of Protein Secretion by … Protein Secretion? [PDF]
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) requires an alternative protein secretion system, ESX1, for virulence. Recently, Raghavan et al. (2008) reported a new regulatory circuit that may explain how ESX1 activity is controlled during infection. Mtb appears to regulate ESX1 by modulating transcription of associated genes rather than structural components of ...

Protein secretion and secreted proteins in pathogenicNeisseriaceae [PDF]
Secreted proteins of pathogenic bacteria are often essential virulence factors. They are involved, for example, in the adherence of the bacteria to host cells or required to suppress the host's defence mechanisms. Until recently, only IgA1 protease had been studied in detail in the NeisseriaceaeNeisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Secreted protein kinases [PDF]
Protein kinases constitute one of the largest gene families and control many aspects of cellular life. In retrospect, the first indication for their existence was reported 130 years ago when the secreted protein, casein, was shown to contain phosphate.

Inhibition of cellular protein secretion by norwalk virus nonstructural protein p22 requires a mimic of an endoplasmic reticulum export signal. [PDF]
Protein trafficking between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus is central to cellular homeostasis. ER export signals are utilized by a subset of proteins to rapidly exit the ER by direct uptake into COPII vesicles for transport to the ...

Type VI secretion: a beginner's guide [PDF]
Type VI secretion is a newly described mechanism for protein transport across the cell envelope of Gram-negative bacteria. Components that have been partially characterised include an IcmF homologue, the ATPase ClpV, a regulatory FHA domain protein and ...

A holin and an endopeptidase are essential for chitinolytic protein secretion in Serratia marcescens [PDF]
Pathogenic bacteria adapt to their environment and manipulate the biochemistry of hosts by secretion of effector molecules. Serratia marcescens is an opportunistic pathogen associated with healthcare-acquired infections and is a prolific secretor of ...

Structural analysis of Salmonella enterica effector protein SopD [PDF]
Salmonella outer protein D (SopD) is a type III secreted virulence effector protein from Salmonella enterica. Full-length SopD and SopD lacking 16 amino acids at the N-terminus (SopDDeltaN) have been expressed as fusions with GST in Escherichia coli ...

Secretin interactions in the type II secretion system [PDF]
PhDThe type II secretion system (T2SS) is the major terminal branch of the general secretory pathway. It is composed of 12-15 proteins, most in multiple copies, and spans the inner and outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria.
