摘要：

This study shows that the Vibrio cholerae RTX toxin is secreted by a four-component type I secretion system (TISS) encoded by rtxB, rtxD, rtxE, and WC. ATP-binding site mutations in both RtxB and RtxE blocked secretion, demonstrating that this atypical TISS requires two transport ATPases that may function as a heterodimer.
