Abstract excerpt
The Helicobacter pylori protein CagA (cytotoxin-associated gene A) is associated with an increased risk for gastric cancer formation. After attachment to epithelial cells, the bacteria inject CagA via a type IV secretion apparatus into host cells, where it exerts its biological activity. Host cell responses to intracellular CagA have been linked exclusively to signaling motifs in the C terminus of the CagA...
