Abstract excerpt
Many significant bacterial pathogens use a type III secretion system to inject effector proteins into host cells to disrupt specific cellular functions, enabling disease progression. The injection of these effectors into host cells is often dependent on dedicated chaperones within the bacterial cell. In this report, we demonstrate that the enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) chaperone CesT interacts with a...
