Antiapoptotic Activity of Coxiella burnetii Effector Protein AnkG Is Controlled by p32-Dependent Trafficking
14 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
Intracellular bacterial pathogens frequently inhibit host cell apoptosis to ensure survival of their host, thereby allowing bacterial propagation. The obligate intracellular pathogen Coxiella burnetii displays antiapoptotic activity which depends on a functional type IV secretion system (T4SS). Accordingly, antiapoptotic T4SS effector proteins, like AnkG, have been identified. AnkG inhibits pathogen-induced...
