Polar secretion of proteins via the Xcp type II secretion system in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The subcellular localization of the major type II secretion system of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the Xcp system, was studied microscopically using a biarsenical ligand that becomes fluorescent upon binding to a tetracysteine motif (Lumio tag), which was fused to several Xcp components. Fusion of the Lumio tag to the C termini of the XcpR and XcpS proteins did not affect the functionality of these ...
متن کاملExport of the pseudopilin XcpT of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa type II secretion system via the signal recognition particle-Sec pathway.
Type IV pilins and pseudopilins are found in various prokaryotic envelope protein complexes, including type IV pili and type II secretion machineries of gram-negative bacteria, competence systems of gram-positive bacteria, and flagella and sugar-binding structures in members of the archaeal kingdom. The precursors of these proteins have highly conserved N termini, consisting of a short, positiv...
متن کاملPseudomonas syringae Hrp type III secretion system and effector proteins.
Pseudomonas syringae is a member of an important group of Gram-negative bacterial pathogens of plants and animals that depend on a type III secretion system to inject virulence effector proteins into host cells. In P. syringae, hrp/hrc genes encode the Hrp (type III secretion) system, and avirulence (avr) and Hrp-dependent outer protein (hop) genes encode effector proteins. The hrp/hrc genes of...
متن کاملType II protein secretion in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: the pseudopilus is a multifibrillar and adhesive structure.
The type II secretion pathway of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is involved in the extracellular release of various toxins and hydrolytic enzymes such as exotoxin A and elastase. This pathway requires the function of a macromolecular complex called the Xcp secreton. The Xcp secreton shares many features with the machinery involved in type IV pilus assembly. More specifically, it involves the function o...
متن کاملCorrigendum: Modulation of Type III Secretion System in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Involvement of the PA4857 Gene Product
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes serious acute or chronic infections in humans. Acute infections typically involve the type III secretion systems (T3SSs) and bacterial motility, whereas chronic infections are often associated with biofilm formation and the type VI secretion system. To identify new genes required for pathogenesis, a transposon mutagenesis library w...
