Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori colonizes the human stomach, contributing to or causing several diseases. Translocation of the CagA bacterial protein into gastric epithelial cells has been linked to an increased risk of peptic ulcer disease and gastric carcinoma. Upon translocation, CagA is tyrosine phosphorylated by Src family kinases (SFKs), which themselves become inactivated via a negative feedback loop. Here, we show...
