Cytokeratin 18 interacts with the enteropathogenic Escherichia coli secreted protein F (EspF) and is redistributed after infection
31 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) pathogenesis requires the delivery of effector proteins into host cytosol by a type III secretion system. The effector protein EspF, while critical for disruption of epithelial barrier function through alteration of tight junctions, is not required for bacterial viability or attachment. Yeast two-hybrid analyses revealed host intermediate filament (IF) protein cytokeratin...
