New Insight into Filamentous Hemagglutinin Secretion Reveals a Role for Full-Length FhaB in <italic toggle="yes">Bordetella</italic> Virulence

ABSTRACT Bordetella filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), a primary component of acellular pertussis vaccines, contributes to virulence, but how it functions mechanistically is unclear. FHA is first synthesized as an ~370-kDa preproprotein called FhaB. Removal of an N-terminal signal peptide and a large...
