Regulation of type III secretion hierarchy of translocators and effectors in attaching and effacing bacterial pathogens.
Human enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC), enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), and the mouse pathogen Citrobacter rodentium (CR) belong to the family of attaching and effacing (A/E) bacterial pathogens. They possess the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) pathogenicity island, which encodes a type III secretion system. These pathogens secrete a number of proteins into culture media, includi...
متن کاملStructure of a type IV secretion system core complex.
Type IV secretion systems (T4SSs) are important virulence factors used by Gram-negative bacterial pathogens to inject effectors into host cells or to spread plasmids harboring antibiotic resistance genes. We report the 15 angstrom resolution cryo-electron microscopy structure of the core complex of a T4SS. The core complex is composed of three proteins, each present in 14 copies and forming a a...
متن کاملSecretion of a type II integral membrane protein induced by mutation of the transmembrane segment.
Signal peptide/membrane anchor (SA) domains of type II membrane proteins initiate the translocation of downstream polypeptides across the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. In contrast with signal peptides, however, SA domains are not cleaved by signal peptidase and thus anchor the protein in the membrane. In the present study we have introduced mutations in the SA domain of neprilysin (neutr...
متن کاملA Gatekeeper Chaperone Complex Directs Translocator Secretion during Type Three Secretion
Many Gram-negative bacteria use Type Three Secretion Systems (T3SS) to deliver effector proteins into host cells. These protein delivery machines are composed of cytosolic components that recognize substrates and generate the force needed for translocation, the secretion conduit, formed by a needle complex and associated membrane spanning basal body, and translocators that form the pore in the ...
متن کاملPhosphate Translocators in Plastids.
During photosynthesis, energy from solar radiation is used to convert atmospheric carbon dioxide into intermediates that are used within and outside the chloroplast for a multitude of metabolic pathways. The daily fixed carbon is exported from the chloroplasts as triose phosphates and 3-phosphoglycerate. In contrast, nongreen plastids rely on the import of carbon, mainly hexose phosphates. Most...
