Clostridium difficile has two parallel and essential Sec secretion systems.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 5 Aug 2011

Fagan Robert P, Fairweather Neil F

Abstract excerpt

Protein translocation across the cytoplasmic membrane is an essential process in all bacteria. The Sec system, comprising at its core an ATPase, SecA, and a membrane channel, SecYEG, is responsible for the majority of this protein transport. Recently, a second parallel Sec system has been described in a number of gram-positive species. This accessory Sec system is characterized by the presence of a second copy of...
