Autotransporter secretion represents a unique mechanism that Gram‐negative bacteria
employ to deliver proteins to their cell surface. BrkA is a Bordetella pertussis autotransporter …

A variety of expression systems for the display of either short peptides or fully folded proteins
on E. coli and, to a lesser extent, on Gram‐positive bacteria have been developed. The …

Autotransporters constitute a relatively simple secretion system in Gram‐negative bacteria,
depending for their translocation across the outer membrane only on a C‐terminal …

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 …
