A Genome-Scale Proteomic Screen Identifies a Role for DnaK in Chaperoning of Polar Autotransporters in<i>Shigella</i>
15 Aug 2009
Abstract excerpt
Autotransporters are outer membrane proteins that are widely distributed among gram-negative bacteria. Like other autotransporters, the Shigella autotransporter IcsA, which is required for actin assembly during infection, is secreted at the bacterial pole. In the bacterial cytoplasm, IcsA localizes to poles and potential cell division sites independent of the cell division protein FtsZ. To identify bacterial...
