Structures and functions of autotransporter proteins in microbial pathogens
2011, International Journal of Medical MicrobiologyCitation Excerpt :Secretion systems in Gram-negative bacteria are numbered for convenience or lack of more creative terms type I–VII (Salmond and Reeves, 1993; Henderson et al., 2000, 2004; Economou et al., 2006; Van Ulsen and Tommassen, 2006).
Secretion and subcellular localizations of bacterial proteins: a semantic awareness issue
2009, Trends in MicrobiologyCitation Excerpt :Because of these functional roles, secreted proteins offer potential commercial and therapeutic benefits. In the past, nomenclature issues have resulted in much confusion in the field of bacterial protein secretion – for example, the use of the descriptor ‘type IV secretion system’ (T4SS) to describe two completely different protein-secretion systems [2], confusion between the general secretory pathway (GSP) and the type II secretion system (T2SS) [3], and the use of ‘type III secretion system’ (T3SS) in Gram-positive bacteria when referring to cytolysin-mediated translocation [4,5]. It is also clear that over the years, the term ‘secreted’ has been used confusingly in scientific literature.
Bacterial surface display library screening by target enzyme labeling: Identification of new human cathepsin G inhibitors
2005, Analytical BiochemistryCitation Excerpt :In our group a system for the efficient surface display of proteins and peptides, which was named “Autodisplay,” has been developed [18,20–24]. Autodisplay is based on the secretion mechanism of the autotransporter family of proteins (Fig. 1) which are present in a wide variety of gram-negative bacteria [25,26]. Autotransporters are generally synthesized from one gene as polyprotein precursors that contain all information for secretion.
