Recruitment of heterologous substrates by bacterial secretion systems for transkingdom translocation
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 Bacterial secretion systems mediate the selective exchange of macromolecules between bacteria and their environment, playing a pivotal role in processes such as horizontal gene transfer or virulence.

Primary architecture and energy requirements of Type III and Type IV secretion systems
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 Many pathogens use Type III and Type IV protein secretion systems to secrete virulence factors from the bacterial cytosol into host cells. These systems operate through a one-step mechanism. The secreted substrates (protein or nucleo-protein complexes in

Analysis of the expression, secretion and translocation of the Salmonella enterica type III secretion system effector SteA. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Many Gram-negative pathogens possess virulence-related type III secretion systems. Salmonella enterica uses two of these systems, encoded on the pathogenicity islands SPI-1 and SPI-2, respectively, to translocate more than 30 effector proteins into ...

ATPase-independent type-III protein secretion in Salmonella enterica. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Type-III protein secretion systems are utilized by gram-negative pathogens to secrete building blocks of the bacterial flagellum, virulence effectors from the cytoplasm into host cells, and structural subunits of the needle complex.

The Missing Pieces: The Role of Secretion Systems in Campylobacter jejuni Virulence
Biomolecules, 2023 Campylobacter jejuni is likely the most common bacterial cause of gastroenteritis worldwide, responsible for millions of cases of inflammatory diarrhea characterized by severe abdominal cramps and blood in the stool. Further, C.
