Septal secretion of protein A in Staphylococcus aureus requires SecA and lipoteichoic acid synthesis

Surface proteins of Staphylococcus aureus are secreted across septal membranes for assembly into the bacterial cross-wall. This localized secretion requires the YSIRK/GXXS motif signal peptide, however the mechanisms supporting precursor trafficking are not known. We show here that the signal peptid...
