Polar assembly and scaffolding proteins of the virulence‐associated ESX‐1 secretory apparatus in mycobacteria
11 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
The ESX-1 secretion system is required for pathogenicity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Despite considerable research, little is known about the structural components of ESX-1, or how these proteins are assembled into the active secretion apparatus. Here, we exploit the functionally related ESX-1 apparatus of Mycobacterium smegmatis (Ms) to show that fluorescently tagged proteins required for ESX-1 activity...
