Translation/Secretion Coupling by Type III Secretion Systems
Type III secretion systems mediate export of virulence proteins and flagellar assembly subunits in Gram-negative bacteria. Chaperones specific to each class of secreted protein are believed to prevent degradation of the secreted substrates. We show that an additional role of chaperones may be to regulate translation of secreted proteins. We show that the chaperone FIgN is required for translati...
متن کاملType III secretion systems and disease.
Type III secretion systems (T3SSs) are complex bacterial structures that provide gram-negative pathogens with a unique virulence mechanism enabling them to inject bacterial effector proteins directly into the host cell cytoplasm, bypassing the extracellular milieu. Although the effector proteins vary among different T3SS pathogens, common pathogenic mechanisms emerge, including interference wit...
متن کاملType III secretion system
The type III secretion system (T3SS) is a membrane-embedded nanomachine found in several Gram-negative bacteria. Upon contact between bacteria and host cells, the syringe-like T3SS (Figure 1) transfers proteins termed effectors from the bacterial cytosol to the cytoplasm or the plasma membrane of a single target cell. This is a major difference from secretion systems that merely release molecul...
متن کاملYersinia type III secretion
Pathogenic Yersinia spp (Yersinia pestis, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, and Yersinia enterocolitica) have evolved an exquisite method for delivering powerful effectors into cells of the host immune system where they inhibit signaling cascades and block the cells' response to infection. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of this system has provided insight into the processes of phagocytosis a...
متن کاملType III secretion systems shape up as they ship out.
Virulence associated protein type III secretion systems (T3SSs) are intricately structured organic nanosyringes that achieve the translocation of bacterial proteins from the prokaryotic cytoplasm across three membranes into the host cytosol. The substrates for these systems number in the hundreds, with remarkably diverse biological activities, modulating host cell biology for the benefit of the...
