Structure/function studies on the autotrasporter BrkA and investigation of the role of periplasmic chaperones in BrkA secretion

BrkA is a virulence factor in Bordetella pertussis that belongs to the ATI subfamily of autotransporter proteins in Gram negative bacteria. ATI members have: (i) an N-terminal signal peptide for secretion across the inner membrane, (ii) a surface expressed passenger domain, and (iii) a C-terminal...
