Abstract excerpt
The general secretion pathway (GSP), found in a wide range of bacteria, is responsible for extracellular targeting of a subset of proteins from the periplasm. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the GSP requires the participation of 12 proteins, of which XcpT, XcpU, XcpV, XcpW are homologues of PilA, the major subunit of type IV pili. The interaction between the pilin-like Xcp proteins was investigated using bifunctional...
