Abstract excerpt
HtpB, the chaperonin of the bacterial pathogen L. pneumophila, is found in extracellular locations, even the cytoplasm of host cells. Although chaperonins have an essential cytoplasmic function in protein folding, HtpB exits the cytoplasm to perform extracellular virulence-related functions that support L. pneumophila's lifestyle. The mechanism by which HtpB reaches extracellular locations is not currently...
