Abstract excerpt
A novel secretion pathway originally found in plants has recently been discovered in bacteria and termed TAT, for "twin-arginine translocation," with respect to the presence of an Arg-Arg motif in the signal sequence of TAT-secreted products. However, it is unknown whether the TAT system contributes in any way to virulence through the secretion of factors associated with pathogenesis or stress response. We found...
