Functional Characterization of the Twin-Arginine Translocation System in <i>Campylobacter jejuni</i>

Abstract excerpt

Human campylobacterosis is one of the most commonly occurring types of bacterial food poisoning in the United States and other developed countries. Most human cases are due to Campylobacter jejuni that is commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract of chickens. The twin-arginine translocase (TAT) secretion system uses N-terminal peptide tags with a distinct twin-arginine-containing motif to identify partially or...
