Roles of the components of the cag -pathogenicity island encoded type IV secretion system in Helicobacter pylori
22 Aug 2024
Abstract excerpt
The Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) cytotoxin-associated gene pathogenicity island (cagPAI) encodes 31 genes that assemble the cag type IV secretion system (T4SS) apparatus, which includes structures such as the outer membrane core complex, periplasmic ring, inner membrane complex and bacterial hairs.
