V.cholerae has a variety of proteins in the periplasm, but only a small part are known to be transported across the outer membrane into the extracellular space. The secretion systems (TCP system) is able to recognize their cognate substrates for export. The TCP apparatus is required by the secretion of TcpF. TcpF is absolutely necessary for colonization and V.cholerae pathogenesis. However, The mechanism for the action of TcpF remains to be elucidated.<ref>Genetic Mapping of Secretion and Functional Determinants of the Vibrio cholerae TcpF Colonization Factor Shelly J.
