Protein translocation: Delivering virulence into the host cell
A wide variety of plant and human bacterial pathogens use a specialized 'type III' protein secretion system to deliver virulence factors into host cells. Appendage-like surface structures have recently been identified on several bacterial pathogens and there are indications that these may be conduits for virulence factor delivery.
متن کاملProtein translocation into proteoliposomes reconstituted
| We have reproduced the process of protein transport across and of protein integration into the mammalian endoplasmic reticulum membrane by the use of proteoliposomes reconstituted from pure phospholipids and purified membrane proteins. The transport of some proteins requires only two membrane protein complexes: the signal recognition particle receptor, needed for targeting of a nascent chain ...
متن کاملVisualization of VirE2 protein translocation by the Agrobacterium type IV secretion system into host cells
Type IV secretion systems (T4SS) can mediate the translocation of bacterial virulence proteins into host cells. The plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens uses a T4SS to deliver a VirD2-single stranded DNA complex as well as the virulence proteins VirD5, VirE2, VirE3, and VirF into host cells so that these become genetically transformed. Besides plant cells, yeast and fungi can efficiently be...
متن کاملSalmonella type III secretion-associated protein InvE controls translocation of effector proteins into host cells.
Salmonella enterica encodes a type III secretion system (TTSS) within a pathogenicity island located at centisome 63 (SPI-1), which is essential for its pathogenicity. This system mediates the transfer of a battery of bacterial proteins into the host cell with the capacity to modulate cellular functions. The transfer process is dependent on the function of protein translocases SipB, SipC, and S...
متن کاملThe Pathogenic Mechanism of the Mycobacterium ulcerans Virulence Factor, Mycolactone, Depends on Blockade of Protein Translocation into the ER
Infection with Mycobacterium ulcerans is characterised by tissue necrosis and immunosuppression due to mycolactone, the necessary and sufficient virulence factor for Buruli ulcer disease pathology. Many of its effects are known to involve down-regulation of specific proteins implicated in important cellular processes, such as immune responses and cell adhesion. We have previously shown mycolact...
