Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans harbours type IV secretion system genes on a plasmid and in the chromosome.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Nov 2001

Novak K F, Dougherty B, Peláez M

Abstract excerpt

Nine contiguous genes encoding a potential type IV secretion system have been identified in the chromosome of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans strain VT747 and on a plasmid (pVT745) in strain VT745. Seven of these genes encode predicted proteins that share significant homology with type IV secretion proteins in Bordetella pertussis (ptl operon), Brucella melitensis biovar suis and Agrobacterium tumefaciens...
