== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==

The beta-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) complex is the core machinery for the assembly of beta-barrel membrane proteins, and inhibition of BAM complex activity is lethal to bacteria. Discovery of integral membrane proteins that are key to pathogenesis yet do not require assistance from the BAM complex raises the question of how these proteins assemble into bacterial outer membranes. Here we address this question through a structural analysis of the type 2 secretion system (T2SS) secretin from enteropathogenic Escherichia coli O127:H6 strain E2348/69. Long beta-strands assemble into a barrel extending 17 A through, and beyond the outer membrane, adding insight to how these extensive beta-strands are assembled into the E. coli outer membrane. The substrate docking chamber of this secretin is shown to be sufficient to accommodate the substrate mucinase, SteC.IMPORTANCE: In order to cause disease, bacterial pathogens inhibit immune responses and induce pathology that will favour their replication and dissemination. In Gram-negative bacteria, these key attributes of pathogenesis depend on structures assembled into or onto the outer membrane. One of these is the T2SS. The Vibrio-type T2SS mediates cholera toxin secretion in Vibrio cholerae and, in Escherichia coli O127:H6 strain E2348/69, the same machinery mediates secretion of the mucinases that enable the pathogen to penetrate intestinal mucus and thereby establish deadly infections.
