MxiC is secreted by and controls the substrate specificity of the <i>Shigella flexneri</i> type III secretion apparatus
11 Nov 2008
Abstract excerpt
Many gram-negative pathogenic bacteria use a type III secretion (T3S) system to interact with cells of their hosts. Mechanisms controlling the hierarchical addressing of needle subunits, translocators and effectors to the T3S apparatus (T3SA) are still poorly understood. We investigated the function of MxiC, the member of the YopN/InvE/SepL family in the Shigella flexneri T3S system. Inactivation of mxiC led...
