Abstract excerpt
The type 3 secretion system (T3SS) is a protein export pathway common to Gram-negative pathogens. It comprises a trans-envelope syringe, the injectisome, with a cytoplasm-facing translocase channel. In enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, exported substrates are chaperone-delivered to the major translocase component, EscV, and cross the membrane in strict hierarchical manner, e.g. first 'translocators', then...
