Abstract excerpt
Bacterial effector proteins are essential for the infection and proliferation of pathogenic bacteria through manipulation of host immune response pathways. AvrA is a Salmonella effector that belongs to the YopJ family of acetyltransferases, which suppresses c-JUN N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling in mammals through acetylation of mitogen-activated receptor kinase kinases 4 and 7 (MKK4/7). Interestingly, there are...
