Abstract
⺠Type II secretion systems move folded proteins across the bacterial outer membrane. ⺠3D structures of all major soluble domains in secretion system proteins have been solved. ⺠A gated outer membrane secretin allows for passage of secreted substrates. ⺠The secretin is connected to an energy-harvesting complex by a clamp protein. ⺠Specialized subunits initiate assembly of a pilus-like filament required for secretion.
