Type II protein secretion systems (T2SS) are molecular machines that promote specific
transport of folded periplasmic proteins in Gram-negative bacteria, across a dedicated …

abstract Gram-negative bacteria use the type II secretion system to transport a large number
of secreted proteins from the periplasmic space into the extracellular environment. Many of …

▪ Abstract Transposons are mobile genetic elements that can relocate from one genomic
location to another. As well as modulating gene expression and contributing to genome …

The type II secretion system (T2SS) delivers toxins and a range of hydrolytic enzymes,
including proteases, lipases, and carbohydrate-active enzymes, to the cell surface or …

Gram-negative bacteria have evolved several secretory pathways to release enzymes or
toxins into the surrounding environment or into the target cells. The type II secretion system …

Mobile genetic segments, or transposons, are also referred to as jumping genes as they can
shift from one position in the genome to another, thus inducing a chromosomal mutation …

Type IV pili (T4P) are bacterial virulence factors responsible for attachment to surfaces and
for twitching motility, a motion that involves a succession of pilus extension and retraction …

Type IVa pili are bacterial nanomachines required for colonization of surfaces, but little is
known about the organization of proteins in this system. The Pseudomonas aeruginosa …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic Gram-negative pathogen equipped with
multiple secretion systems. The type II secretion machinery (Xcp secreton) is involved in the …

Secretion of cholera toxin and other virulence factors from Vibrio cholerae is mediated by the
type II secretion (T2S) apparatus, a multiprotein complex composed of both inner and outer …
