Structural and Functional Studies of AlgK: A Protein Required for the Secretion of High-molecular Weight Alginate in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Alginate is an exopolysaccharide secreted by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and is a major component of biofilms that infect the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients. Ten proteins have been implicated in alginate polymerization, modification and export, and are believed to assemble into a multi-protein complex...
