Outer membrane proteins mediate unconventional secretion of Pseudomonas peroxidase through crosstalk between the Sec pathway and outer membrane vesicles
This study reveals the crosstalk between the Sec pathway and OMVs in the secretion of a non-canonical peroxidase, in which OM proteins, acting as the molecular tethers, mediate the stepwise secretion process and expands the understanding of non-classical protein secretion mechanisms and bacterial survival strategies.
