Inclusion Membrane Proteins ofProtochlamydia amoebophilaUWE25 Reveal a Conserved Mechanism for Host Cell Interaction among theChlamydiae
31 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
Chlamydiae are a group of obligate intracellular bacteria comprising several important human pathogens. Inside the eukaryotic cell, chlamydiae remain within a host-derived vesicular compartment, termed the inclusion. They modify the inclusion membrane through insertion of unique proteins, which are involved in interaction with and manipulation of the host cell. Among chlamydiae, inclusion membrane proteins have...
