The ESX-4 substrates, EsxU and EsxT, modulate Mycobacterium abscessus fitness
12 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
ESX type VII secretion systems are complex secretion machineries spanning across the mycobacterial membrane and play an important role in pathogenicity, nutrient uptake and conjugation. We previously reported the role of ESX-4 in modulating Mycobacterium abscessus intracellular survival. The loss of EccB4 was associated with limited secretion of two effector proteins belonging to the WXG-100 family, EsxU and...
