Abstract excerpt
Bacterial pathogens deliver effector proteins with diverse biochemical activities into host cells, thereby modulating various host functions. Legionella pneumophila hijacks host vesicle trafficking to avoid phagosome-lysosome fusion, a mechanism that is dependent on the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system. SidM/DrrA, a Legionella type IV effector, is important for the interactions of Legionella-containing...
