Gram-negative bacteria use type II secretion systems for the transport of virulence factors
and hydrolytic enzymes through the outer membrane. These sophisticated multi-protein …

This handbook (55 chapters) provides a comprehensive roadmap of basic research in
nanomedicine as well as clinical applications. However, unlike other texts in nanomedicine …

Gram-negative bacteria have evolved diverse secretion systems/machineries to translocate
substrates across the cell envelope. These various machineries fulfil a wide variety of …

Dickeya zeae, a bacterial plant pathogen of the family Pectobacteriaceae, is responsible for
a wide range of diseases on potato, maize, rice, banana, pineapple, taro, and ornamentals …

Bacteriophages put intense selective pressure on microbes, which must evolve diverse
resistance mechanisms to survive continuous phage attacks. We used a library of …

Secretion of Yop effector proteins by the Yersinia pestis plasmid pCD1‐encoded type III
secretion system (T3SS) is regulated in response to specific environmental signals. Yop …

Small proteins characterized by a double-glycine (GG) secretion motif, typical of secreted
bacterial antibiotics, are encoded by the genomes of diverse cyanobacteria, but their …

Type II secretion is one of six systems that exist in Gram-negative bacteria for the purpose of
secreting proteins into the extracellular milieu and/or into host cells. This article will review …

EpsE is a cytoplasmic component of the type II secretion system in Vibrio cholerae. Through
ATP hydrolysis and an interaction with the cytoplasmic membrane protein EpsL, EpsE …

Protein secretion as well as the assembly of bacterial motility appendages are central
processes that substantially contribute to fitness and survival. This study highlights …
