چکیده

Correction In Figure 5 panel B of this article, we reported what was believed to be a mutant of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAO1) PcrG protein capable of trans-complementing an lcrG mutation. After isolation of PcrG mutants that could trans-complement lcrG, we inadvertently compared our mutated pcrG sequences to the pcrG sequence from P. aeruginosa strain 388 instead of strain PAO1. This error resulted in the incorrect characterization of a PcrG variant described in this paper (PcrG F42L). In fact, the residue at position 42 of PcrG from PAO1 is a leucine, not a phenylalanine. Therefore, we did not have a PcrG mutant, but had a wildtype clone.

LcrG-LcrV interaction is required for control of Yops secretion in Yersinia pestis.

Yersinia pestis expresses a set of plasmid-encoded virulence proteins called Yops and LcrV that are secreted and translocated into eukaryotic cells by a type III secretion system. LcrV is a multifunctional protein with antihost and positive regulatory effects on Yops secretion that forms a stable complex with a negative regulatory protein, LcrG. LcrG has been proposed to block the secretion app...

The LcrG Tip Chaperone Protein of the Yersinia pestis Type III Secretion System Is Partially Folded.

The type III secretion system (T3SS) is essential in the pathogenesis of Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague. A small protein, LcrG, functions as a chaperone to the tip protein LcrV, and the LcrG-LcrV interaction is important in regulating protein secretion through the T3SS. The atomic structure of the LcrG family is currently unknown. However, because of its predicted helical propen...

Interactions of the type III secretion pathway proteins LcrV and LcrG from Yersinia pestis are mediated by coiled-coil domains.

The type III secretion system is used by pathogenic Yersinia to translocate virulence factors into the host cell. A key component is the multifunctional LcrV protein, which is present on the bacterial surface prior to host cell contact and up-regulates translocation by blocking the repressive action of the LcrG protein on the cytosolic side of the secretion apparatus. The functions of LcrV are ...

Yersinia pestis LcrV forms a stable complex with LcrG and may have a secretion-related regulatory role in the low-Ca2+ response.

Yersinia pestis contains a virulence plasmid, pCD1, that encodes many virulence-associated traits, such as the Yops (Yersinia outer proteins) and the bifunctional LcrV, which has both regulatory and antihost functions. In addition to LcrV and the Yops, pCD1 encodes a type III secretion system that is responsible for Yop and LcrV secretion. The Yop-LcrV secretion mechanism is believed to regulat...

Roles of LcrG and LcrV during type III targeting of effector Yops by Yersinia enterocolitica.

Yersinia enterocolitica target effector Yop proteins into the cytosol of eukaryotic cells by a mechanism requiring the type III machinery. LcrG and LcrV have been suggested to fulfill essential functions during the type III targeting of effector Yops. It is reported here that knockout mutations of lcrG caused mutant yersiniae to prematurely secrete Yops into the extracellular medium without abo...
