VirK Is a Periplasmic Protein Required for Efficient Secretion of Plasmid-Encoded Toxin from Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli

Despite the autotransporter (AT) moniker, AT secretion appears to involve the function of periplasmic chaperones. We identified four periplasmic proteins that specifically bound to plasmid-encoded toxin (Pet), an AT produced by enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC). These proteins include the 17...
