Structural studies of the Type IX secretion system inner membrane complex

Abstract:

The Type IX Secretion System (T9SS) is a protein transport system found exclusively in the Bacteroidetes phylum of Gram-negative bacteria. The T9SS transports folded substrates across the outer membrane, including virulence factors of human pathogens, polysaccharide utilisation enzymes of environmental bacteria, and cell-surface adhesin molecules involved in Bacteroidetes gliding motility

The inner membrane proteins GldL and GldM use the proton-motive force to energise both the T9S...
