Abstract excerpt
Type III cytotoxins contribute to the ability of bacterial pathogens to subvert the host innate immune system. ExoS (453 amino acids) is a bifunctional type III cytotoxin produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Residues 96 to 232 comprise a Rho GTPase activating protein domain, while residues 233 to 453 comprise a 14-3-3-dependent ADP-ribosyltransferase domain. An N-terminal domain (termed the membrane localization...
