Abstract excerpt
The needle structures of type III secretion (T3S) systems are formed by the secretion and polymerization of a needle subunit protein, YscF in Yersinia pestis. A subset of T3S systems employ unique heterodimeric chaperones, YscE and YscG in Y. pestis, to prevent the polymerization of needle subunits within the bacterial cell. We demonstrate that the YscE/YscG chaperone is also required for stable YscF expression...
