Substrate-Activated Conformational Switch on Chaperones Encodes a Targeting Signal in Type III Secretion

The targeting of type III secretion (TTS) proteins at the injectisome is an important process in bacterial virulence. Nevertheless, how the injectisome specifically recognizes TTS substrates among all bacterial proteins is unknown. A TTS peripheral membrane ATPase protein located at the base of the...
