Conversion of PtdIns(4,5)P2 into PtdIns(5)P by the S.flexneri effector IpgD reorganizes host cell morphology
30 Sept 2002
Abstract excerpt
Phosphoinositides play a central role in the control of several cellular events including actin cytoskeleton organization. Here we show that, upon infection of epithelial cells with the Gram-negative pathogen Shigella flexneri, the virulence factor IpgD is translocated directly into eukaryotic cells and acts as a potent inositol 4-phosphatase that specifically dephosphorylates phosphatidylinositol...
