Structure of the AlgKX modification and secretion complex required for alginate production and biofilm attachment in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Structure of the AlgKX modification and secretion complex required for alginate production and biofilm attachment in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

The pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses a synthase-dependent secretion system for production of the exopolysaccharide alginate, which is associated with lung infection severity. Here, Gheorghita et al. determine the crystal structure of one of the secretion system components (the AlgKX complex) and...
