Type: | Family | Name: | Type II secretion system protein H |
Description: | The general (type II) secretion pathway (GSP) within Gram-negative bacteria is a signal sequence-dependent process repsonsible for protein export [, , ]. The process has two stages: exoproteins are first translocated across the inner membrane by the general signal-dependent export pathway (GEP), and then across the outer membrane by a species-specific accessory mechanism. A number of proteins are involved in the GSP; one of these is known as protein H (GSPH protein). This protein shares several sequence similarities with bacterial fimbrial protein, or pilin, the major structural protein of pili []. Pili are polar flexible filamentous adhesions ~2500nm in length, and diameter ~5.4nm. Fimbrial and GSPG proteins share the following characteristics: a methylated, hydrophobic N-terminal residue; a hydrophobic leader peptide of 5-10 residues, terminating with glycine; glutamate as the fifth residue of the mature sequence; and a highly hydrophobic N terminus. | Short Name: | T2SS_protein-H |
