Abstract excerpt
Type III secretion systems (T3SSs) are central virulence mechanisms used by a variety of Gram-negative bacteria to inject effector proteins into host cells. The needle polymer is an essential part of the T3SS that provides the effector proteins a continuous channel into the host cytoplasm. It has been shown for a few T3SSs that two chaperones stabilize the needle protein within the bacterial cytosol to prevent...
