Bacteria secrete proteins for different purposes such as communication, virulence functions,
adhesion to surfaces, nutrient acquisition, or growth inhibition of competing bacteria. For …

Gram‐negative bacteria are surrounded by two membranes, called the outer and inner
membranes. The space between these membranes, the periplasm, is spanned by a …

Salmonella serovar Kentucky is frequently isolated from chickens and dairy cattle, but
recovery from humans is comparatively low based on the US National Antimicrobial …

Type V, or “autotransporter,” secretion is a term used to refer to several simple protein export
pathways that are found in a wide range of Gram-negative bacteria. Autotransporters are …

Adhesion is the initial step in the infection process of gram-negative bacteria. It is usually
followed by the formation of biofilms that serve as a hub for further spread of the infection …

In Gram‐negative bacteria, autotransporters secrete effector protein domains that are linked
to virulence. Although they were once thought to be simple and autonomous secretion …

Autotransporters are a large superfamily of cell surface proteins produced by G ram‐
negative bacteria that consist of an N‐terminal extracellular domain ('passenger domain') …

Trimeric autotransporter adhesins (TAAs) are a subset of a larger protein family called the
type V secretion systems. They are localized on the cell surface of Gram‐negative bacteria …

The type 5 secretion system (T5SS) is one of the more widespread secretion systems in
Gram-negative bacteria. Proteins secreted by the T5SS are functionally diverse (toxins …

Coiled coils appear in countless structural contexts, as appendages to small proteins, as
parts of multi-domain proteins, and as building blocks of filaments. Although their structure is …
