The inhibition of the apoptosis pathway by theCoxiella burnetiieffector protein CaeA requires the EK repetition motif, but is independent of survivin

Abstract excerpt

ABSRTACT Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacterium that causes Query (Q) fever, a zoonotic disease. It requires a functional type IV secretion system (T4SS) which translocate bacterial effector proteins into the host cell cytoplasm and thereby facilitates bacterial replication. To date, more than 130 effector proteins have been identified, but their functions remain largely unknown. Recently, we...
