Abstract excerpt
The enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) multicargo chaperone CesT interacts with at least 10 effector proteins and is central to pathogenesis. CesT has been implicated in coordinating effector hierarchy, although the mechanisms behind this regulation are poorly understood. To address this question, we set out to functionally characterize CesT with respect to roles in (i) effector binding, (ii) effector...
