Visualization 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 کاملInteraction with CagF is required for translocation of CagA into the host via the Helicobacter pylori type IV secretion system.
Development of severe gastric diseases is strongly associated with those strains of Helicobacter pylori that contain the cag pathogenicity island (PAI) inserted into the chromosome. The cag PAI encodes a type IV secretion system that translocates the major disease-associated virulence protein, CagA, into the host epithelial cell. CagA then affects host signaling pathways, leading to cell elonga...
متن کاملRecognition of the Agrobacterium tumefaciens VirE2 translocation signal by the VirB/D4 transport system does not require VirE1.
Agrobacterium tumefaciens uses a type IV secretion system to deliver a nucleoprotein complex and effector proteins directly into plant cells. The single-stranded DNA-binding protein VirE2, the F-box protein VirF and VirE3 are delivered into host cells via this VirB/D4 encoded translocation system. VirE1 functions as a chaperone of VirE2 by regulating its efficient translation and preventing Vir...
متن کاملTranslocation through the Conjugative Type IV Secretion System Requires Unfolding of Its Protein Substrate
Bacterial conjugation, a mechanism of horizontal gene transfer, is the major means by which antibiotic resistance spreads among bacteria (1, 2). Conjugative plasmids are transferred from one bacterium to another through a type IV secretion system (T4SS) in a form of single-stranded DNA covalently attached to a protein called relaxase. The relaxase is fully functional both in a donor cell (prior...
