The Type XI Secretion System (T11SS) is a recently identified bacterial secretion system that follows a two-step secretion process. It first utilizes the Sec translocon to transport specific proteins, mainly hemophilin homologs, into the periplasm in an unfolded state.
Currently identified secretion systems. A Type VIII secretion system is a type of secretion system found within the inner and outer membranes of gram-negative bacteria.This system is also referred to as the curli biogenesis pathway or the extracellular nucleation-precipitation pathway.
This system helps gram negative bacteria colonize, form biofilms, and causes an increase in pathogenicity in the bacteria that utilize it. These systems are observable when genes for an Fimbrial usher protein (which is integral to the formation of a pilus in gram negative bacteria), a Chaperone (protein) , and the building blocks of fimbriae ...
The bacterial type IV secretion system, also known as the type IV secretion system or the T4SS, is a secretion protein complex found in gram negative bacteria, gram positive bacteria, and archaea. It is able to transport proteins and DNA across the cell membrane. [1] The type IV secretion system is just one of many bacterial secretion systems.
The type 2 secretion system (often referred to as the type II secretion system or by the initials T2SS) is a type of protein secretion machinery found in various species of Gram-negative bacteria, including many human pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Vibrio cholerae. [1]
The term 'Type III secretion system' was coined in 1993. [4] This secretion system is distinguished from at least five other secretion systems found in gram-negative bacteria. Many animal and plant associated bacteria possess similar T3SSs.
The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is one of the bacterial secretion systems, membrane protein complexes, used by a wide range of gram-negative bacteria to transport effectors. Effectors are moved from the interior of a bacterial cell, across the membrane into an adjacent target cell.
The prototypic Type IVA secretion system is the VirB complex of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. [11] Protein members of this family are components of the type IV secretion system. They mediate intracellular transfer of macromolecules via a mechanism ancestrally related to that of bacterial conjugation machineries. [12] [13]
