Structural Basis of α-Catenin Recognition by EspB from Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli Based on Hybrid Strategy Using Low-Resolution Structural and Protein Dissection
Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) induces actin reorganization of host cells by injecting various effectors into host cytosol through type III secretion systems. EspB is the natively partially folded EHEC effector which binds to host α-catenin to promote the actin bundling. However, its structural basis is poorly understood. Here, we characterize the overall structural properties of EspB based ...
متن کاملMolecular Basis of α-Thalassemia in Iran
Alpha-thalassemia (α-thal) is probably the most prevalent monogenic condition in the world. Deletions are the most common types of mutations in α-thal, followed by point mutations and small insertion/deletion. In the context of national screening program for prevention of thalassemia and hemoglobinopathies in Iran, α-thal carriers have come to more attention. Therefore, the fr...

متن کاملVacuolisation of human microvascular endothelial cells by enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli.
Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) cause haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS), a thrombotic microangiopathy resulting from endothelial injury in the renal glomeruli and other organs. EHEC virulence factors that damage the microvascular endothelium play therefore major roles in the pathogenesis of HUS. We identified an EHEC strain that vacuolates and kills primary human glomerular microvasc...
متن کاملRole of EspB in experimental human enteropathogenic Escherichia coli infection.
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC), a leading cause of diarrhea among infants in developing countries, induces dramatic alterations in host cell architecture that depend on a type III secretion system. EspB, one of the proteins secreted and translocated to the host cytoplasm via this system, is required for numerous alterations in host cell structure and function. To determine the role of...
