Abstract excerpt
The process of extracellular secretion in Pseudomonas aeruginosa requires specialized machinery which is widely distributed among bacteria that actively secrete proteins to the extracellular medium. One of the components of this machinery is the product of the xcpR gene, which is homologous to pi...
