Deskripsi

It has been proposed that bacterial membrane proteins may be produced via ‘transertion’, or concurrent transcription, translation and membrane insertion from membrane-associated genes. Here, Kaval et al. provide evidence supporting that Vibrio parahaemolyticus uses transertion to assemble a transmembrane complex (type III secretion system) used to inject virulence factors into host cells.
