Question

Select all that apply.Which secretion systems are Sec-dependent and which ones are Sec-independent?

-Type V=Sec-independent; carrier translocates passenger across the cytoplasmic membrane

-Sortase=Sec-independent; a C-terminal signal peptide sends proteins to the periplasm

-Type II=Sec-dependent; proteins are pushed out of the periplasmby a pseudopilus

-Type III=Sec-independent; proteins from the cytoplasm are injected into the animal cell

-Type IV=Sec-dependent; ATP hydrolysis in the periplasm pushes out the protein-coated DNA

-Type I=Sec-independent; proteins cross the cytoplasmis membrane through an ABC transporter

-Type V=Sec-dependent; carrier secretes passenger across the outer membrane

-Type III=Sec-dependent; proteins enter the needle by the complex Sec pathway

-Type II=Sec-independent; proteins are pushed out of the cytoplasm by a pseudopilus

-Type VI=Sec-independent; proteins are injected from one bacterial cytoplasm to another

Explanation / Answer

The correct options are:

-Type II=Sec-dependent; proteins are pushed out of the periplasmby a pseudopilus

-Sortase=Sec-independent; a C-terminal signal peptide sends proteins to the periplasm

-Type III=Sec-independent; proteins from the cytoplasm are injected into the animal cell

-Type I=Sec-independent; proteins cross the cytoplasmis membrane through an ABC transporter

-Type V=Sec-dependent; carrier secretes passenger across the outer membrane

Type VI=Sec-independent; proteins are injected from one bacterial cytoplasm to another
