Abstract excerpt
Yersinia pestis expresses a set of secreted proteins called Yops and the bifunctional LcrV, which has both regulatory and antihost functions. Yops and LcrV expression and the activity of the type III mechanism for their secretion are coordinately regulated by environmental signals such as Ca2+ co...
