Secrets of a secretin

Structure. 2013 Dec 3;21(12):2098-9. doi: 10.1016/j.str.2013.11.002.

Abstract

Secretins are major constituents of bacterial type III secretion systems (T3SS). In this issue of Structure, Kowal and colleagues report on the cryo-EM structure of the native YscC secretin from Yersinia, revealing its internal symmetry and mode of length adaptation.
