Pseudopilin is a protein component of the type 2 secretion system complex. The complex is thought to be composed in E. coli of a major pseudopilin or general secretion pathway protein G (GspG or EspG or PulG) and several minor pseudopilins or general secretion pathway proteins H, I, J, K (GspI, GspJ, GspK or EspI, EspJ, EspK, EspH, PulH, PulI, PulJ, PulK)[1].


E. coli minor pseudopilins: GspI (wheat), GspJ (blue), GspK (dark red) complex with Cl- (deep green) and Ca+2 ion (light green) (PDB code 3ci0)
