Abstract excerpt
The ESAT-6-like secretion system (ESS) of Staphylococcus aureus is assembled in the bacterial membrane from core components that promote the secretion of WXG-like proteins (EsxA, EsxB, EsxC, and EsxD) and the EssD effector. Genes encoding the ESS secretion machinery components, effector, and WXG-like proteins are located in the ess locus. Here, we identify essH, a heretofore uncharacterized gene of the ess locus,...
