Role of EspF in host cell death induced by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli
1 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) causes diarrhoea in children in developing countries. Many EPEC genes involved in virulence are contained within the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE), a large pathogenicity island. One of the genes at the far righthand end of the LEE encodes EspF, an EPEC secreted protein of unknown function. EspF, like the other Esps, is a substrate for secretion by the type III...
