Long-Distance Effects of H-NS Binding in the Control of hilD Expression in the Salmonella SPI1 Locus
23 Aug 2021
Abstract excerpt
Members of the foodborne pathogen Salmonella rely on a type III secretion system to invade intestinal epithelial cells and initiate infection. This system was acquired through horizontal gene transfer, essentially creating the Salmonella genus. Expression of this critical virulence factor is controlled by a complex regulatory network. The nucleoid protein H-NS is a global repressor of horizontally acquired...
