Abstract excerpt
The Pseudomonas secretin XcpQ forms an oligomeric complex, which is involved in the translocation of proteins across the outer membrane via the type II secretion pathway. Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces only small amounts of this complex, 50 to 100 copies per bacterium, and overexpression is lethal to these cells. However, overexpression of Pseudomonas alcaligenes XcpQ could be achieved in the P. alcaligenes...
