Identification of a new export signal that targets early subunits to the flagellar type III secretion export machinery

ABSTRACT Type III secretion systems (T3SSs) are essential for motility and virulence in many bacterial pathogens. Proteins destined for the flagellar T3SS contain at least two export signals in their N-terminal D0 domain. Here, we describe a third carboxy (C)-terminal signal in early flagellar subun...
