Despite the apparent simplicity of autotransporters ...

Auto with large and diverse superfamily of proteins produced by pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria, consisting of the N-terminal passenger domain, which usually carries strattera cost a virulence function, and C-terminal domain would. It has long been known that would anchor domain protein outer membrane and facilitates the transport of passengers in the area of ​​intercellular space. Despite the apparent simplicity of autotransporters way, some aspects of autotransporters biogenesis remain poorly understood, especially the mechanism by which the passenger domain to move through the outer membrane. Here we review recent data that the huge variety of sequences and passenger area to disprove excellent preservation of structure. We also discuss the idea at every stage of autotransporters biogenesis, which emerged from recent structural, biochemical and instrumental methods of investigation. .
