Structural Basis of Type 2 Secretion System Engagement between the Inner and Outer Bacterial Membranes

ABSTRACT Sophisticated nanomachines are used by bacteria for protein secretion. In Gram-negative bacteria, the type 2 secretion system (T2SS) is composed of a pseudopilus assembly platform in the inner membrane and a secretin complex in the outer membrane. The engagement of these two megadalton-size...
