Nametype III secretion
TypeSYSTEM
DescriptionType III secretion systems are found in a number of pathogenenic gram-negative bacteria. These systems consist of approximately twenty-five translocation proteins, as well as those proteins that are transported either across the bacterial inner and outer membrane, into the medium, or further across a eukaryotic target cell membrane. Substrates for type III secretion are not cleaved during transport, although the signal for transport appears to lie near the N-terminus (or in the RNA); chaperones act as well for some substrates and may be a second signal. Proteins delivered to the target cell cytosol and active in pathogenesis are termed effectors. Type III secretion systems resemble some of the flagellar export apparatus. In some cases, a type III pilus is observed and required for effector delivery. Gene nomeclature transposes across genomes: ysc in Yersinia, bsc in Bordetella, esc in enteropathogenic E. coli, hrc in plant pathogens, etc., so that Ysc, EscD, HrcD, etc. are homologous and functionally analogous [1,2].
