Abstract excerpt
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli employs a type III secretion system (T3SS) to translocate virulence effector proteins directly into enterocyte host cells, leading to diarrheal disease. The T3SS is encoded within the chromosomal locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE). The function of some of the LEE-encoded proteins remains unknown. Here we investigated the role of the Orf16 protein in T3SS biogenesis and...
