13. Which of the following description about bacterial protein secretion pathway is not
correct?
(A) ABC protein secretion pathway can secrete proteins which usually have N-
terminal secretion signals.
(B) Some type III secretion machinery is syringe-shaped and secretes virulence
factors directly into host cells.
(C) In some G(-) bacteria, proteins can first be removed across the plasma
membrane through Tat pathway, then delivered to type II secretion system and
passed through the outer membrane.
(D) Type IV secretion pathway can secrete proteins and transfer DNA during
conjugation.
(E) Type V secretion pathway can transport some autotransporters through the
outer membrane.
