Activation of Shigella flexneri type 3 secretion requires a host-induced conformational change to the translocon pore
14 Nov 2019
Abstract excerpt
Type 3 secretion systems (T3SSs) are conserved bacterial nanomachines that inject virulence proteins (effectors) into eukaryotic cells during infection. Due to their ability to inject heterologous proteins into human cells, these systems are being developed as therapeutic delivery devices. The T3SS assembles a translocon pore in the plasma membrane and then docks onto the pore. Docking activates effector...
