Tandem Translation Generates a Chaperone for the Salmonella Type III Secretion System Protein SsaQ
31 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
Type III secretion systems (T3SSs) of bacterial pathogens involve the assembly of a surface-localized needle complex, through which translocon proteins are secreted to form a pore in the eukaryotic cell membrane. This enables the transfer of effector proteins from the bacterial cytoplasm to the host cell. A structure known as the C-ring is thought to have a crucial role in secretion by acting as a cytoplasmic...
