Abstract excerpt
The Helicobacter pylori HtrA protein (HtrAHp ) is an important virulence factor involved in the infection process by proteolysis of components of the tight (claudin-8 and occludin) and adherens junctions (E-cadherin) between epithelial cells. As a protease and chaperone, HtrAHp is involved in protein quality control, which is particularly important under stress conditions. HtrAHp contains a protease domain and...
