Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of protein secretion mediated by the beta-domain of the Neisseria gonorrhoeae IgA protease, a paradigm of a family of secreted polypeptides of Gram-negative bacteria called autotransporters, has been examined using a single-chain antibody (scFv) as a reporter passenger domain to monitor the translocation process. Fusion of a scFv to the beta-module of the IgA protease allowed us to investigate the...
