Reconstitution of a minimal ESX-5 type VII secretion system suggests a role for PPE proteins in outer membrane transport of proteins

2022-09-05

Abstract excerpt

Mycobacteria utilize type VII secretion systems (T7SSs) to secrete proteins across their highly hydrophobic and diderm cell envelope. Pathogenic mycobacteria have up to five different T7SSs, called ESX-1 to ESX-5, which are crucial for growth and virulence. Here, we use a functionally reconstituted ESX-5 system in the avirulent species Mycobacterium smegmatis that lacks ESX-5, to define the role of each esx-5 ge...
