*Protein Secretion: *

A fundamental aspect of all life is the ability to separate inside the 
cell from outside the cell.  In bacteria this separation is accomplished 
by membranes of phospholipids.  To interact with the outside 
environment, bacteria must secrete proteins across this phospholipid 
barrier without disrupting it.  This course will discuss the various 
strategies bacteria have evolved for secretion across lipid membranes.  
We will cover the seven major secretion pathways in Gram-negative 
bacteria (Type I-Type VI and TAT) and will touch on secretion in 
Gram-positive organisms as well.  We will give particular emphasis to 
how these secretion systems have been adapted to facilitate bacterial 
pathogenesis.
