Identification of SycN, YscX, and YscY, three new elements of the Yersinia yop virulon.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jan 1999

Iriarte M, Cornelis G R

Abstract excerpt

The Yop virulon allows Yersinia spp. to resist the immune response of the host by injecting harmful proteins into host cells. We identified three new elements of the Yop virulon: SycN, required for normal secretion of YopN, and YscX and YscY, two new components of the secretion machinery.
