Abstract excerpt
We have recently shown an essential role of the 32 amino acids C-terminus domain of IcmT of Legionella pneumophila in bacterial egress from macrophages. Mutants expressing an IcmT protein with a truncation in the C-terminus, replicate intracellularly but are defective in pore formation-mediated egress. The C-terminus domain of IcmT is the only hydrophilic domain of IcmT that is predicted to be in the cytoplasm...
