SUMMARY ATP-binding cassette (ABC) systems are universally distributed among living
organisms and function in many different aspects of bacterial physiology. ABC transporters …

▪ Abstract ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters couple ATP hydrolysis to the uptake and
efflux of solutes across the cell membrane in bacteria and eukaryotic cells. In bacteria, these …

Covering 1982 to 2006 Microcins are gene-encoded antibacterial peptides, with molecular
masses below 10 kDa, produced by enterobacteria. They are secreted under conditions of …

In gram-negative bacteria, type I secretion is carried out by a translocator made up of three
proteins that span the cell envelope. One of these proteins is a specific outer membrane …

Type 1 secretion systems (T1SS) are wide-spread among Gram-negative bacteria. An
important example is the secretion of the hemolytic toxin HlyA from uropathogenic strains …

▪ Abstract The bacterial TolC protein plays a common role in the expulsion of diverse
molecules, which include protein toxins and antibacterial drugs, from the cell. TolC is a …

This book describes the major achievements and discoveries relevant to bacterial protein
toxins since the turn of the new century illustrated by the discovery of more than fifty novel …

Protein secretion systems are molecular nanomachines used by Gram-negative bacteria to
thrive within their environment. They are used to release enzymes that hydrolyze complex …

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is one of the most commonly used techniques to study
protein–protein interactions. The main advantage of SPR is it gives on the ability to measure …

We present an overview of the architecture of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters and
dissect the systems in core and accessory domains. The ABC transporter core is formed by …
