Targeting of the Small GTPase Rab6A′ by the Legionella pneumophila Effector LidA
9 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
When the bacterium Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease, is phagocytosed by alveolar macrophages, it delivers a large number of effector proteins through its Dot/Icm type IV secretion system into the host cell cytosol. Among those proteins is LidA, an effector that interacts with several host GTPases of the Rab family, including Rab6A', a regulator of retrograde vesicle trafficking...
