Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa ExoS (453 amino acids) is a bifunctional type III cytotoxin, comprising a Rho GTPase-activating protein domain (RhoGAP), and a 14-3-3 dependent ADP-ribosyltransferase domain. In addition, ExoS contains a membrane localization domain (termed MLD, residues 51-77) which localizes and traffics ExoS within intoxicated host cells. While membrane localization has been shown to be essential for...
