Abstract excerpt
Cholera toxin secretion is dependent upon the extracellular protein secretion apparatus encoded by the eps gene locus of Vibrio cholerae. Although the eps gene locus encodes several type four prepilin-like proteins, the peptidase responsible for processing these proteins has not been identified....
