Pathogenic Puppetry: Manipulation of the Host Actin Cytoskeleton by Chlamydia trachomatis
21 Dec 2019
Abstract excerpt
The actin cytoskeleton is crucially important to maintenance of the cellular structure, cell motility, and endocytosis. Accordingly, bacterial pathogens often co-opt the actin-restructuring machinery of host cells to access or create a favorable environment for their own replication. The obligate intracellular organism Chlamydia trachomatis and related species exemplify this dynamic: by inducing actin...
