Non-lytic protein secretion by virulence-associated Type 10 Secretion Systems in Salmonella enterica [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyIntroductionType 10 Secretion Systems (T10SSs) are critical virulence determinants in many bacterial pathogens and are evolutionarily derived from phage-associated lytic cassettes.

The autotransporter secretion system [PDF]
Research in Microbiology, 2004 The type V secretion system includes the autotransporter family, the two-partner system and the Oca family. The autotransporter secretion process involving first the translocation of the precursor through the inner membrane and then its translocation through the outer membrane via a pore formed by a beta-barrel is reviewed.

Bacterial effector kinases and strategies to identify their target host substrates
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are critical in regulating protein function by altering chemical characteristics of proteins. Phosphorylation is an integral PTM, catalyzed by kinases and reversibly removed by phosphatases, that modulates many ...
