The gspB-secY2A2 locus of Streptococcus gordonii strain M99 encodes the platelet-binding glycoprotein GspB, along with proteins that mediate its glycosylation and export. We have identified two additional components of the accessory Sec system (Asp4 and Asp5) encoded just downstream of gtfB in the gspB-secY2A2 locus. These proteins are required for GspB export and for normal levels of platelet binding by M99. Asp4 and Asp5 may be functional homologues of SecE and SecG, respectively.
戈登氏链球菌M99菌株的gspB-secY2A2位点编码血小板结合糖蛋白GspB以及介导其糖基化和输出的蛋白质。我们在gspB-secY2A2位点的gtfB下游鉴定出了辅助Sec系统的另外两个组分(Asp4和Asp5)。这些蛋白质是GspB输出以及M99正常水平的血小板结合所必需的。Asp4和Asp5可能分别是SecE和SecG的功能同源物。
