ESX‐1 secreted virulence factors are recognized by multiple cytosolic AAA ATPases in pathogenic mycobacteria
4 Aug 2009
Abstract excerpt
The ESX-1 secretion system of Mycobacterium tuberculosis delivers bacterial virulence factors to host cells during infection. The most abundant factor, the ESAT-6/CFP-10 dimer, is targeted for secretion via a C-terminal signal sequence on CFP-10 that is recognized by the cytosolic ATPase, Rv3871. However, the selection determinants for other ESX-1 substrates appear to be more complex. Some substrates, such as...
