Abstract:Protein export pathways are important for bacterial physiology among pathogens and non-pathogens alike. This includes the Twin-Arginine Translocation (Tat) pathway, which transports fully folded proteins across the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane. Some Tat substrates are virulence factors, while others are important for cellular processes like peptidoglycan remodeling. Some bacteria encode more than one copy of each Tat component, including the Gram-negative soil isolate Acinetobacter baylyi. One of these Tat p… Show more
