Abstract excerpt
The gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa secretes the majority of its extracellular proteins by the type II secretion mechanism, a two-step process initiated by translocation of signal peptide-bearing exoproteins across the inner membrane. The periplasmic forms are transferred across the outer membrane by a machinery consisting of 12 xcp gene products. Although the type II secretion machinery is...
