Small proteins regulate Salmonella survival inside macrophages by controlling degradation of a magnesium transporter
4 Aug 2020
Abstract excerpt
Significance The murine protein Slc11a1 (SLC11A1 in humans) hinders replication of invading microbes by provoking Mg 2+ limitation in host tissues. To withstand Mg 2+ limitation and to promote survival in Slc11a1 + / + macrophages, the intracellular pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium requires MgtB, one of its three Mg 2+ transporters and the only one absent from commensal Escherichia coli . Although...
