Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) cagA-positive strains are associated with gastritis, peptic ulcerations, and gastric adenocarcinoma. Upon delivery into gastric epithelial cells, the cagA-encoded CagA protein specifically binds and aberrantly activates SHP-2 oncoprotein in a manner that is dependent on CagA tyrosine phosphorylation. CagA-deregulated SHP-2 then elicits aberrant Erk activation while causing an...
