Unique TLR9 Activation by Helicobacter pylori Depends on the cag T4SS, But Not on VirD2 Relaxases or VirD4 Coupling Proteins
3 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
The genomes of the gastric bacterial pathogen Helicobacter pylori harbor multiple type-IV secretion systems (T4SSs). Here we analyzed components of three T4SSs, the cytotoxin-associated genes (cag) T4SS, TFS3 and TFS4. The cag T4SS delivers the effector protein CagA and the LPS-metabolite ADP-heptose into gastric epithelial cells, which plays a pivotal role in chronic infection and development of gastric disease....
