Outer Membrane Targeting of Passenger Proteins by the Vacuolating Cytotoxin Autotransporter of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i>

Abstract excerpt

Helicobacter pylori produces a number of proteins associated with the outer membrane, including adhesins and the vacuolating cytotoxin. These proteins are supposed to integrate into the outer membrane by beta-barrel structures, characteristic of the family of autotransporter proteins. By using the SOMPES (shuttle vector-based outer membrane protein expression) system for outer membrane protein production, we were...
