摘要: Secretion systems,which can mediate the macromolecules to pass across cellular membranes,are essential for virulent and genetic material exchange among bacterial species[1].Type Ⅳ secretion system (T4SS) is one of the secretion systems and it usually consists of 12 genes:VirB1,VirB2...VirB11,and VirD4[2].The structure and molecular mechanisms of these genes have been well analyzed in Gram-negative strains[3] and Gram-positive strains were once believed to be lack of T4SS.However,some recent studies revealed that one or more virB/D genes also exist in some kinds of Gram-positive bacteria and play similar role,and form a T4SS-like system[3].The VirB1-like,VirB4,VirB6,and VirD4 genes were identified in the chromosome of Gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus suis in our previous studies and their role as important mobile elements for horizontal transfer to recipients in an 89 K pathogenicity island (PAI) was demonstrated[4-5].However,their structure and molecular mechanisms in other strains,especially in Gram-positive strains,are remained unclear.
