Abstract excerpt
Yersinia species utilize a type III secretion system to inject toxins, called Yops (Yersinia outer proteins), into eukaryotic cells. The N-termini of the Yops serve as type III secretion signals, but they do not share a consensus sequence. To simplify the analysis of type III secretion signals, we replaced amino acids 2-8 of the secreted protein YopE with all permutations (27 or 128) of synthetic...
