Calcium-regulated type III secretion of Yop proteins by an Escherichia coli hha mutant carrying a Yersinia pestis pCD1 virulence plasmid.
A series of four large deletions that removed a total of ca. 36 kb of DNA from the ca. 70-kb Yersinia pestis pCD1 virulence plasmid were constructed using lambda Red-mediated recombination. Escherichia coli hha deletion mutants carrying the virulence plasmid with the deletions expressed a functional calcium-regulated type III secretion system. The E. coli hha/pCD1 system should facilitate molec...
متن کاملTargeting type III secretion in Yersinia pestis.
Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, utilizes a plasmid-encoded type III secretion system (T3SS) to aid it with its resistance to host defenses. This system injects a set of effector proteins known as Yops (Yersinia outer proteins) into the cytosol of host cells that come into contact with the bacteria. T3SS is absolutely required for the virulence of Y. pestis, making it a potential...

Temperature-inducible and calcium-regulated proteins encoded by the virulence plasmid of Yersinia. Ingrid Bölin, Department of Cellbiology and Microbiology, National Defence Research Institute, S-901 82 Umeå, Sweden. The pathogenic members of the genus Yersinia, Y. pseudotuberculosis, Y. pestis and Y. enterocolitica are transmitted from animals to man and may give rise to disease with ä~ variet...
متن کاملSecretion of hybrid proteins by the Yersinia Yop export system.
After incubation at 37 degrees C in the absence of Ca2+ ions, pathogenic strains of Yersinia spp. release large amounts of a set of plasmid-encoded proteins called Yops. The secretion of these proteins, involved in pathogenicity, occurs via a mechanism that involves neither the removal of a signal sequence nor the recognition of a C-terminal domain. Analysis of deletion mutants allowed the secr...
متن کاملSelection and characterization of Yersinia pestis YopN mutants that constitutively block Yop secretion.
Secretion of Yop effector proteins by the Yersinia pestis plasmid pCD1-encoded type III secretion system (T3SS) is regulated in response to specific environmental signals. Yop secretion is activated by contact with a eukaryotic cell or by growth at 37 degrees C in the absence of calcium. The secreted YopN protein, the SycN/YscB chaperone and TyeA form a cytosolic YopN/SycN/YscB/TyeA complex tha...
