Glycine acylation and trafficking of a new class of bacterial lipoprotein by a composite secretion system

C. Icke, F. Hodges, K. Pullela, S. McKeand, J. A. Bryant, A. F. Cunningham, J. A. Cole, I. R. Henderson

The paper identifies a new bacterial secretion system, Aat, that acylates a lipoprotein, CexE, on a glycine residue instead of the typical cysteine, leading to surface display of the protein.
