Description: | A number of proteins are involved in the general secretion pathway (GSP); one of these is known as protein D (GSPD protein). Protein D is involved in the type II general secretion pathway within Gram-negative bacteria, a signal sequence-dependent process responsible for protein export [, , ,, , , ]. The most probable location of protein D is the outer membrane []. This suggests that protein D constitutes the apparatus of the accessory mechanism, and is thus involved in transporting exoproteins from the periplasm, across the outer membrane, to the extracellular environment. | Short Name: | T2SS_GspD_CS |
