Abstract
The Escherichia coli K-12 gene coding for a component of a type II exp ort system was identified and characterized. The HopG protein contains a typical prepilin peptidase cleavage site and has a high degree of h omology with proteins PulG, OutG, and ExeG, which are components of ty pe II secretion systems from Klebsiella pneumoniae, Erwinia carotovora , and Aeromonas hydrophila.
