Abstract excerpt
Previously, it was shown that optimal functioning of the Yersinia type III secretion system (T3SS) in cell culture infection assays requires the exoribonuclease polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) and that normal T3SS activity could be restored in the Deltapnp strains by expressing just the approximately 70-aa S1 RNA-binding domain of PNPase. Here, it is shown that the Yersinia Deltapnp strain is less virulent...
