Investigators at California State Polytechnic University, Department of Biological Sciences publish new data on plague
March 11th, 2008
Current study results from the report, 'Genome-wide in silico mapping of the secretome in pathogenic Yersinia pestis KIM,' have been published. According to recent research from the United States, "Uncovering the secretome of Yersinia pestis is a necessary measure to better understand the virulence of this plague-causing bacterium. Using bioinformatics methods, the components of all the secretion systems known to date in the Y. pestis KIM genome were mapped, including several systems identified by this study." "It was found that this organism possesses Sec, twin-arginine translocation, signal recognition particle, Omp85/YaeT, type I, type II, type III, type VI,...
