Abstract excerpt
We previously demonstrated that the Neisseria IgA1 protease cleaves LAMP1 (lysosome-associated membrane protein 1), a major integral membrane glycoprotein of lysosomes, thereby accelerating its degradation rate in infected A431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells and resulting in the alteration of lysosomes in these cells. In this study, we determined whether the IgA1 protease also affects the trafficking of...
