Investigating the key components of the chitinase secretion system in <i>Serratia marcescens</i>
… in the secretion process. The <i>chiW</i> and <i>chiX </i>genes encode putative holin and endolysin proteins, respectively, and these are essential for secretion of chitinases. Using X-ray crystallography, the structure of full-length ChiX was resolved to 1.34 Å, revealing structural similarities …

Towards Understanding Helicase and Chaperone Activities in the RNA Degradosome
… and helicase, and the association between Hfq, ChiX and the RNase E C-terminus. The thesis also explored structural details regarding the small domain of RNase E involved in both RNA binding and oligomerisation and its relationship to the RNA binding KH domains. Utilizing a point mutation in the …

Secretion and regulation of the chitinolytic machinery in <i>Serratia marcescens</i>
… in this group had identified two genes (chiW and chiX) encoding a holin-like protein and a putative endopeptidase, that are essential for secretion of the chitinolytic machinery. Moreover chiA was found expressed by a small subpopulation of cells and in coordination with chiX. This project used …

Secretion of the chitinolytic machinery in Serratia marcescens
… a putative L-alanyl-D-glutamate endopeptidase (ChiX). Subsequent quantitative proteomics experiments and biochemical analyses established that ChiW and ChiX were required for secretion of the entire chitinolytic machinery. Chitinase secretion was observed to be blocked at a late stage in the …
