In order to elucidate the regions of the protein that are required for secretion through the TCP apparatus and for its function in colonization, random mutagenesis of <jats:italic>tcpF</jats:italic> was performed. Analysis of these mutants suggests that multiple regions throughout the protein influence extracellular secretion and that determinants near the C terminus are important for the function of TcpF in colonization. The TcpF proteins of certain environmental <jats:italic>V. cholerae</jats:italic> isolates with 31% to 66% identity to pathogenic <jats:italic>V. cholerae</jats:italic> TcpF showed higher similarity in regions identified as secretion determinants but diverged in regions found to be important for colonization. These environmental TcpF proteins are secreted from the pathogenic strain; however, they do not mediate colonization in the infant mouse model. Here we provide genetic evidence pointing toward regions of TcpF that influence secretion, as well as regions that play an important role in in vivo colonization. </jats:p> Genetic Mapping of Secretion and Functional Determinants of the <i>Vibrio cholerae</i> TcpF Colonization Factor Journal of Bacteriology
