Function

A protein is first transported from the cytoplasm to the periplasm via the Sec or Tat pathway, before being transported to the extracellular environment [1]. Proteins secreted via T2SS include proteases, cellulases, pectinases, phospholipases, lipases, and toxins, many of which are virulence factors [2]. For instance, pathogens such as Vibrio cholerae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa employ the T2SS pathway [3].
