Abstract excerpt
Membrane-associated ATPase constitutes an essential element common to all secretion machineries in Gram-negative bacteria. How ATP hydrolysis by these ATPases is coupled to secretion process remains unclear. Here we identified R286 as a key residue in the type II secretion system (T2SS) ATPase XpsE of Xanthomonas campestris that plays a pivotal role in coupling ATP hydrolysis to protein translocation. Mutation of...
