Export Mechanisms and Energy Transduction in Type-III Secretion Machines.

Export Mechanisms and Energy Transduction in Type-III Secretion Machines. Curr Top Microbiol Immunol. 2019 Jun 20;: Authors: Renault TT, Guse A, Erhardt M Abstract The remarkably complex architecture and organization of bacterial nanomachines originally raised the enigma to how they are assembled in a coordinated manner. Over the years, the assembly processes of the flagellum and evolutionary-related injectisome complexes have been deciphered and were shown to rely on a conserved protein secretion machine: the type-III secretion system. In this book chapter, we demonstrate how individually evolved mechanisms cooperate in highly versatile and robust secretion machinery to export and assemble the building blocks of those nanomachines.
