Translocation of the Helicobacter pylori CagA protein in gastric epithelial cells by a type IV secretion apparatus
1 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori is one of the most common bacterial pathogens, infecting about 50% of the world population. The presence of a pathogenicity island (PAI) in H. pylori has been associated with gastric disease. We present evidence that the H. pylori protein encoded by the cytotoxin-associated gene A (cagA) is translocated and phosphorylated in infected epithelial cells. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE)...
