Abstract excerpt
The human pathogen Shigella flexneri subverts host function and defenses by deploying a cohort of effector proteins via a type III secretion system. The IpaH family of 10 such effectors mimics ubiquitin ligases but bears no sequence or structural homology to their eukaryotic counterpoints. Using rates of (125)I-polyubiquitin chain formation as a functional read out, IpaH9.8 displays V-type positive cooperativity...
