Regulation and Characterization of the Cex system of enteric pathogens: a pathway for the lipidation and secretion of noncanoncial bacterial lipoproteins
CexE is an outer membrane lipoprotein of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC); one of the most prevalent etiological agents of diarrheal disease. Homologs of CexE are present in enteroaggregative E. coli, Citrobacter rodentium, and other enteropathogens. We have previously shown that expression of CexE is dependent...
