Many virulence factors secreted by pathogenic Gram‐negative bacteria belong to the
autotransporter (AT) family. ATs consist of a passenger domain, which is the actual secreted …

Autotransporters (ATs) are large virulence factors secreted by Gram-negative bacteria. The
passenger domain, carrying the virulence functions, is transported across the bacterial outer …

Autotransporters (ATs) of Gram-negative bacteria contain an N-proximal passenger domain
that is transported to the extracellular milieu and a C-terminal β-domain that inserts into the …

Autotransporters (ATs) are the largest group of proteins secreted by Gram-negative bacteria
and include many virulence factors from human pathogens. ATs are synthesized as large …

Since their discovery more than 20 years ago the autotransporter protein superfamily has
been growing continuously and currently represents the largest protein family in …

Autotransporter (AT) proteins are the largest class of extracellular virulence proteins
secreted from Gram-negative bacteria. The mechanism by which AT proteins cross the …

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 …

Autotransporters are a superfamily of virulence factors produced by Gram-negative bacteria
consisting of a large N-terminal extracellular domain (“passenger domain”) and a C-terminal …

In this report we investigate the capacity of bacterial autotransporters (AT) to translocate
folded protein domains across the outer membrane (OM). Polypeptides belonging to the AT …

Autotransporters are bacterial virulence factors consisting of an N-terminal “passenger
domain” that is secreted in a C-to-N-terminal direction and a C-terminal “β domain” that …
