Abstract
Bacterial protein secretion is an important process necessary for adhesion, motility, communication, nutrient acquisition, and virulence. Secretion is energy intensive and time sensitive, so it needs to be tightly regulated. Recent work indicates that threonine phosphorylation can provide this control.
