Anchors for Effectors: Subversion of Phosphoinositide Lipids by Legionella
1 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
The facultative intracellular pathogen Legionella pneumophila replicates in free-living amoebae and macrophages within a distinct compartment, the "Legionella-containing vacuole" (LCV). LCV formation involves phosphoinositide (PI) glycerolipids, which are key factors controlling vesicle trafficking pathways and membrane dynamics of eukaryotic cells. To govern the interactions with host cells, L. pneumophila...
