Abstract excerpt
EtpM of the enterohemorrhagic E. coli O157:H7 is a bitopic membrane protein of the type II protein secretion apparatus. There is a twin-arginine (RR) motif in front of its signal anchor, suggesting a Tat-dependent membrane targeting of EtpM. By exploiting the periplasmic bactericidal activity of colicin V (ColV), we constructed EtpM-ColV fusions and studied the EtpM-mediated translocation of ColV. The wild type...
