Identification of a tyrosine-phosphorylated 35 kDa carboxy-terminal fragment (p35CagA) of theHelicobacter pylori CagA protein in phagocytic cells: Processing or breakage?

Abstract excerpt

Helicobacter pylori is a very common bacterial pathogen that causes gastric disease by inducing the infiltration of immune cells as an initial event. Virulent H. pylori strains express a type IV secretion system composed of several virulence (Vir) proteins encoded by the cag pathogenicity island (cag PAI). During infection of phagocytic cells (U937, Josk-M and J774A.1) we have detected a de novo...
