| Abstract: | The Escherichia coli K-12 gene coding for a component of a type II export system was identified and characterized. The HopG protein contains a typical prepilin peptidase cleavage site and has a high degree of homology with proteins PulG, OutG, and ExeG, which are components of type II secretion systems from Klebsiella pneumoniae, Erwinia carotovora, and Aeromonas hydrophila. |
