Screening a library of temperature-sensitive mutants to identify secretion factors in Staphylococcus aureus
16 Jan 2025
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Protein secretion is an essential cell process in bacteria, required for cell envelope biogenesis, export of virulence factors, and acquisition of nutrients, among other important functions. In the Sec secretion pathway, signal peptide-bearing precursors are recognized by the SecA ATPase and pushed across the membrane through a translocon channel made of the proteins SecY, SecE, and SecG. The Sec pathway...
