Shigella hijacks the exocyst to cluster macropinosomes for efficient vacuolar escape
31 Aug 2020
Abstract excerpt
Shigella flexneri invades host cells by entering within a bacteria-containing vacuole (BCV).In order to establish its niche in the host cytosol, the bacterium ruptures its BCV.Contacts between S. flexneri BCV and infection-associated macropinosomes (IAMs) formed in situ have been reported to enhance BCV disintegration.The mechanism underlying S. flexneri vacuolar escape remains however obscure.To decipher the...
