Abstract excerpt
The bacterial flagellum contains a specialized secretion apparatus in its base that pumps certain protein subunits through the growing structure to their sites of installation beyond the membrane. A related apparatus functions in the injectisomes of gram-negative pathogens to export virulence factors into host cells. This mode of protein export is termed type-III secretion (T3S). Details of the T3S mechanism are...
