Role of EscU auto-cleavage in promoting type III effector translocation into host cells by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli.

Jenny-Lee Thomassin | Xiang He | Nikhil A Thomas
BMC microbiology | 2011

Type III secretion systems (T3SS) of bacterial pathogens coordinate effector protein injection into eukaryotic cells. The YscU/FlhB group of proteins comprises members associated with T3SS which undergo a specific auto-cleavage event at a conserved NPTH amino acid sequence. The crystal structure of the C-terminal portion of EscU from enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) suggests this auto-cleaving protein provides an interface for substrate interactions involved in type III secretion events.
