Molecular ruler determines needle length for the Salmonella Spi-1 injectisome.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 31 Mar 2015

Wee Daniel H, Hughes Kelly T

Abstract excerpt

The type-III secretion (T3S) systems of bacteria are part of self-assembling nanomachines: the bacterial flagellum that enables cells to propel themselves through liquid and across hydrated surfaces, and the injectisome that delivers pathogenic effector proteins into eukaryotic host cells. Although the flagellum and injectisome serve different purposes, they are evolutionarily related and share many structural...
