Abstract excerpt
Salmonella entry into epithelial host cells results from the host actin cytoskeleton reorganization that is induced by a group of bacterial proteins delivered to the host cells by the Salmonella type III secretion system. SopE, SopE2 and SopB activate CDC42 and Rac1 to intercept the signal transduction pathways involved in actin cytoskeleton rearrangements. SipA and SipC directly bind actin to modulate the actin...
