Abstract excerpt
Vinculin is a cytoskeletal linker strengthening cell adhesion. The Shigella IpaA invasion effector binds to vinculin to promote vinculin supra-activation associated with head-domain-mediated oligomerization. Our study investigates the impact of mutations of vinculin D1D2 subdomains' residues predicted to interact with IpaA VBS3. These mutations affected the rate of D1D2 trimer formation with distinct effects on...
