title: Revisiting the chlamydial type III protein secretion system: clues to the origin of type III protein secretion.
abstract: The bacterial type III secretion pathway delivers effector proteins into eukaryotic cells. Analysis of the type III system and flagellar export genes in the obligate parasites of the family Chlamydiales suggests that the type III system arose from the flagellar export system in chlamydiae or related bacteria.
