An accessory <i>sec</i> locus of <i>Streptococcus gordonii</i> is required for export of the surface protein GspB and for normal levels of binding to human platelets
1 May 2002
Abstract excerpt
The translocation of proteins across the bacterial cell membrane is carried out by highly conserved components of the Sec system. Most bacterial species have a single copy of the genes encoding SecA and SecY, which are essential for viability. However, Streptococcus gordonii strain M99 encodes SecA and SecY homologues that are not required for viability or for the translocation of most exported proteins. The...
