Invited review: Breaking barriers--attack on innate immune defences by omptin surface proteases of enterobacterial pathogens.

Innate immunity - 1 Apr 2009

Abstract excerpt

The omptin family of Gram-negative bacterial transmembrane aspartic proteases comprises surface proteins with a highly conserved beta-barrel fold but differing biological functions. The omptins OmpT of Escherichia coli, PgtE of Salmonella enterica, and Pla of Yersinia pestis differ in their substrate specificity as well as in control of their expression. Their functional differences are in accordance with the...
