Type V protein secretion pathway: the autotransporter story.
Gram-negative bacteria possess an outer membrane layer which constrains uptake and secretion of solutes and polypeptides. To overcome this barrier, bacteria have developed several systems for protein secretion. The type V secretion pathway encompasses the autotransporter proteins, the two-partner secretion system, and the recently described type Vc or AT-2 family of proteins. Since its discover...
متن کاملIdentification of secretion determinants of the Bordetella pertussis BrkA autotransporter.
The autotransporters comprise a functionally diverse family of gram-negative proteins that mediate their own export across the bacterial outer membrane. They consist of an amino-terminal passenger region called the "alpha-domain" and the structural hallmark of the autotransporter family, a carboxy-terminal transporter region usually referred to as the "beta-domain." The passenger region can be ...
متن کاملType V protein secretion: simplicity gone awry?
Since its discovery in the late 1980's, the family of secreted proteins termed the autotransporters has been expanding continuously to become the largest group of secreted proteins in Gram-negative bacteria. The type V secretion pathway, which includes the autotransporters (type Va) together with the two-partner secretion system (type Vb) and the Oca family (type Vc), can be defined by secreted...
متن کاملTwo-Partner Secretion: Combining Efficiency and Simplicity in the Secretion of Large Proteins for Bacteria-Host and Bacteria-Bacteria Interactions
Initially identified in pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria, the two-partner secretion (TPS) pathway, also known as Type Vb secretion, mediates the translocation across the outer membrane of large effector proteins involved in interactions between these pathogens and their hosts. More recently, distinct TPS systems have been shown to secrete toxic effector domains that participate in inter-bacter...
متن کاملThe crystal structure of filamentous hemagglutinin secretion domain and its implications for the two-partner secretion pathway.
Filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), the major 230-kDa adhesin of the whooping cough agent Bordetella pertussis, is one of the most efficiently secreted proteins in Gram-negative bacteria. FHA is secreted by means of the two-partner secretion (TPS) pathway. Several important human, animal, and plant pathogens also secrete adhesins and other virulence factors by using this mode of secretion. A TPS s...
