This machine is responsible for the cell surface exposition of various proteins, such as adhesins, required for gliding motility in <i>Flavobacterium</i>, S-layer components in <i>Tannerella forsythia</i>, and tooth tissue-degrading enzymes in the oral pathogen <i>Porphyromonas gingivalis</i> Although a number of subunits of the T9SS have been identified, we l ...[more]
