Abstract excerpt
Macromolecular transport by bacterial type IV secretion systems involves regulated uptake of (nucleo)protein complexes by the cell envelope-spanning transport channel. A coupling protein receptor is believed to recognize the specific proteins destined for transfer, but the steps initiating their translocation remain unknown. Here, we investigate the contribution of a complex of transfer initiation proteins, the...
