Type II secretion system core protein G

UniProtKB accession:  Q00514

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Core component of the type II secretion system required for the energy-dependent secretion of extracellular factors such as proteases and toxins from the periplasm (PubMed:9282737). Pseudopilin (pilin-like) protein that polymerizes to form the pseudopilus. Further polymerization triggers pseudopilus growth (PubMed:16012171). Type II pseudopilus confers increased bacterial adhesive capabilities (PubMed:12700254).
