Abstract excerpt
The twin-arginine translocation (Tat) pathway translocates folded proteins across the cytoplasmic membrane. Proteins transported through this secretion system typically carry two arginine residues in their signal peptide that is cleaved off during translocation. Recently, we demonstrated the presence of the Tat pathway in Legionella pneumophila Philadelphia-1 and the Rieske Fe/S protein PetA was one of the...
