Sequence-Based Prediction of Type III Secreted Proteins
The type III secretion system (TTSS) is a key mechanism for host cell interaction used by a variety of bacterial pathogens and symbionts of plants and animals including humans. The TTSS represents a molecular syringe with which the bacteria deliver effector proteins directly into the host cell cytosol. Despite the importance of the TTSS for bacterial pathogenesis, recognition and targeting of t...
متن کاملA draft genome sequence and functional screen reveals the repertoire of type III secreted proteins of Pseudomonas syringae
Background: Pseudomonas syringae is a widespread bacterial pathogen that causes disease on a broad range of economically important plant species. Pathogenicity of P. syringae strains is dependent on the type III secretion system, which secretes a suite of up to about thirty virulence 'effector' proteins into the host cytoplasm where they subvert the eukaryotic cell physiology and disrupt host d...
متن کاملRegulation, secretion and activity of type III-secreted proteins of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157.
Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 causes gastrointestinal disease with the potential for life-threatening sequelae. Although Shiga-like toxins are responsible for much of the serious pathology in humans, the bacterium also possesses a type III protein secretion system that is responsible for intimate attachment to host intestinal mucosa. This sophisticated interaction requires ...
متن کاملCharacterization of Nops, nodulation outer proteins, secreted via the type III secretion system of NGR234.
The nitrogen-fixing symbiotic bacterium Rhizobium species NGR234 secretes, via a type III secretion system (TTSS), proteins called Nops (nodulation outer proteins). Abolition of TTSS-dependent protein secretion has either no effect or leads to a change in the number of nodules on selected plants. More dramatically, Nops impair nodule development on Crotalaria juncea roots, resulting in the form...
متن کاملCre reporter system to monitor the translocation of type III secreted proteins into host cells.
Central to the study of type III secretion systems is the availability of reporter systems to monitor bacterial protein translocation into host cells. We report here the development of a bacteriophage P1 Cre recombinase-based system to monitor the translocation of bacterial proteins into mammalian cells. Bacteriophage P1 Cre recombinase fused to the secretion and translocation signals of Salmon...
