Abstract excerpt
Respiratory complex I is a multicomponent enzyme conserved between eukaryotic cells and many bacteria, which couples oxidation of electron donors and quinone reduction with proton pumping. Here, we report that protein transport via the Cag type IV secretion system, a major virulence factor of the Gram-negative bacterial pathogen Helicobacter pylori, is efficiently impeded by respiratory inhibition. Mitochondrial...
