Structure, assembly, and function of tripartite efflux and type 1 secretion systems in gram-negative bacteria
Tripartite efflux pumps and the related type 1 secretion systems (T1SSs) in Gram-negative
organisms are diverse in function, energization, and structural organization. They form …

The non-flagellar type III secretion system evolved from the bacterial flagellum and diversified into host-cell adapted systems
Type 3 secretion systems (T3SSs) are essential components of two complex bacterial
machineries: the flagellum, which drives cell motility, and the non-flagellar T3SS (NF-T3SS) …
