Prediction of type III secretion signals in genomes of gram-negative bacteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background: Pathogenic bacteria infecting both animals as well as plants use various mechanisms to transport virulence factors across their cell membranes and channel these proteins into the infected host cell.

Inhibition of cellular protein secretion by norwalk virus nonstructural protein p22 requires a mimic of an endoplasmic reticulum export signal. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
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 ...

Monitoring cytosolic H2O2 fluctuations arising from altered plasma membrane gradients or from mitochondrial activity

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Reliable methods of measuring intracellular H2O2 fluctuations are necessary to advance redox biology. Here the authors design a H2O2 sensor based on the fission yeast peroxiredoxin Tpx1 to sense nanomolar fluctuations of intracellular H2O2 in response to

Structural Basis of Type 2 Secretion System Engagement between the Inner and Outer Bacterial Membranes

open access: yesmBio, 2017
Sophisticated nanomachines are used by bacteria for protein secretion. In Gram-negative bacteria, the type 2 secretion system (T2SS) is composed of a pseudopilus assembly platform in the inner membrane and a secretin complex in the outer membrane.

Protein secretion in streptomycetes [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Letters, 2006
Some aspects of the current knowledge on protein secretion in streptomycetes are presented including recent data on the identification of genes in the general secretory pathway, on the importance of the signal peptide structure and on the number of ribosome-binding sites inside signal peptides which can influence the production level of a gene product.

CagI is an essential component of the Helicobacter pylori Cag type IV secretion system and forms a complex with CagL. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Helicobacter pylori, the causative agent of type B gastritis, peptic ulcers, gastric adenocarcinoma and MALT lymphoma, uses the Cag type IV secretion system to induce a strong proinflammatory response in the gastric mucosa and to inject its effector ...

Distribution and diversity of bacterial secretion systems across metagenomic datasets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Bacteria can manipulate their surrounding environment through the secretion of proteins into other living organisms and into the extracellular milieu. In Gram stain negative bacteria this process is mediated by different types of secretion systems from ...

Disruption of vacuolar protein sorting components of the HOPS complex leads to enhanced secretion of recombinant proteins in Pichia pastoris

open access: yesMicrobial Cell Factories, 2019
Background The yeast Pichia pastoris is a widely used host for the secretion of heterologous proteins. Despite being an efficient producer, we observed previously that certain recombinant proteins were mistargeted to the vacuole on their route to ...

EspM Is a Conserved Transcription Factor That Regulates Gene Expression in Response to the ESX-1 System

open access: yesmBio, 2020
Pathogenic mycobacteria encounter multiple environments during macrophage infection. Temporally, the bacteria are engulfed into the phagosome, lyse the phagosomal membrane, and interact with the cytosol before spreading to another cell. Virulence factors

Microreview: type IV secretion systems: versatility and diversity in function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Type IV secretion systems (T4SSs) are large protein complexes which traverse the cell envelope of many bacteria. They contain a channel through which proteins or protein–DNA complexes can be translocated.
