Abstract excerpt
Due to their similarity to type IV pilus (Tfp) subunits, the pseudopilins, XpsG, -H, -I, -J and -K, have been predicted to form a pilus-like structure in the type II secretion (T2S) pathway. While overexpression of GspG can result in the formation of bundle structures, the functions of other pseudopilin are not known yet. In this study, we investigate the mutual interaction among the pseudopilins and characterize...
