Structural Insights into the PorK and PorN Components of the Porphyromonas gingivalis Type IX Secretion System.

Structural Insights into the PorK and PorN Components of the Porphyromonas gingivalis Type IX Secretion System.

The type IX secretion system (T9SS) has been recently discovered and is specific to Bacteroidetes species. Porphyromonas gingivalis, a keystone pathogen for periodontitis, utilizes the T9SS to transport many proteins including the gingipain virulence factors across the outer membrane and attach them...
