Abstract excerpt
Upon incubation at 37 degrees C in the absence of Ca2+ ions, pathogenic yersiniae release high amounts of pYV plasmid-encoded proteins called Yops, involved in pathogenesis. Yersinia enterocolitica also express two outer membrane proteins, an adhesin called YadA and a lipoprotein called YlpA. The production of the Yops is co-ordinately regulated by a 20 kb region of the plasmid referred to as the 'Ca2+ dependence...
