  7. Injection of T3SS effectors not resulting in invasion is the main targeting mechanism of Shigella toward human lymphocytes [Microbiology]

    • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

    • The enteroinvasive bacterium Shigella is a facultative intracellular bacterium known, in vitro, to invade a large diversity of cells through the delivery of virulence effectors into the cell cytoplasm via a type III secretion system (T3SS). Here, we provide evidence that the injection of T3SS effectors does not necessarily result...

  14. The Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli Effector EspW Triggers Actin Remodeling in a Rac1-Dependent Manner [Cellular Microbiology: Pathogen-Host Cell Molecular Interactions]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is a diarrheagenic pathogen that colonizes the gut mucosa and induces attaching-and-effacing lesions. EHEC employs a type III secretion system (T3SS) to translocate 50 effector proteins that hijack and manipulate host cell signaling pathways, which allow bacterial colonization and subversion of immune responses and disease progression. The aim of this study was to characterize the T3SS effector EspW.

  21. Stand-alone EAL domain proteins form a distinct subclass of EAL proteins involved in regulation of cell motility and biofilm formation in enterobacteria

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • The second messenger cyclic di-GMP is almost ubiquitous among bacteria and so are the cyclic di-GMP turnover proteins, which mediate the transition between motility and sessility. EAL domain proteins have been characterized as cyclic di-GMP-specific phosphodiesterases.

    • The Shigella species cause millions of cases of watery or bloody diarrhea each year, mostly in children in developing countries. While many aspects of Shigella colonic cell invasion are known, crucial gaps in knowledge regarding how the bacteria survive, transit, and regulate gene expression prior to infection remain.
