Description:
Article Bacterial autotransporters are folded in a process that entraps segments of their N-terminal passenger domain. Here, Leyton et al . identify glycine-aromatic mortise and tenon motifs that mediate the passenger domain’s translocation to the bacterial cell surface, and show that the motifs are evolutionarily conserved.
