The classical monomeric autotransporters are ubiquitously used by Gram-negative bacteria
to export virulence and colonization factors to their cell surface or into their surroundings …

Autotransporters are widely distributed among Gram-negative bacteria. They can have a
large variety of functions and many of them have a role in virulence. They are synthesized as …

Monomeric autotransporters have been used extensively to transport recombinant proteins
or protein domains to the cell surface of Gram-negative bacteria amongst others for antigen …

Monomeric autotransporters have been extensively used for export of recombinant proteins
to the cell surface of Gram-negative bacteria. A bottleneck in the biosynthesis of such …

Cell surface display of proteins can be used for several biotechnological applications such
as the screening of protein libraries, whole cell biocatalysis and live vaccine development …

Background The self-sufficient autotransporter (AT) pathway, ubiquitous in Gram-negative
bacteria, combines a relatively simple protein secretion mechanism with a high transport …

Autotransporters are a large and diverse superfamily of proteins produced by pathogenic
gram-negative bacteria that are composed of an N-terminal passenger domain, which …

Abstract Background In Gram-negative bacteria, type Va and Vc autotransporters are
proteins that contain both a secreted virulence factor (the “passenger” domain) and a β …

Autotransporters are a superfamily of proteins that use the type V secretion pathway for their
delivery to the surface of Gram-negative bacteria. At first glance, autotransporters look to …

Expressing proteins of interest as fusions to proteins of the bacterial envelope is a powerful
technique with many biotechnological and medical applications. Autotransporters have …
