Processing and maturation of the pilin of the type IV secretion system encoded within the gonococcal genetic island.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 23 Dec 2011

Jain Samta, Kahnt Jörg, van der Does Chris

Abstract excerpt

The type IV secretion system (T4SS) encoded within the gonococcal genetic island (GGI) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae has homology to the T4SS encoded on the F plasmid. The GGI encodes the putative pilin protein TraA and a serine protease TrbI, which is homologous to the TraF protein of the RP4 plasmid involved in circularization of pilin subunits of P-type pili. TraA was processed to a 68-amino acid long circular...
