Abstract excerpt
Legionella pneumophila establishes a replication vacuole within phagocytes that requires the bacterial Dot/Icm apparatus for its formation. This apparatus is predicted to translocate effectors into host cells. We hypothesized that some translocated proteins also function to maintain the integrity of the Dot/Icm translocator. Mutations that destroy this function are predicted to result in a Dot/Icm complex that...
