Yersinia type III secretion : send in the effectors [PDF]

, 2002
Pathogenic Yersinia spp (Yersinia pestis, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, and Yersinia enterocolitica) have evolved an exquisite method for delivering powerful effectors into cells of the host immune system where they inhibit signaling cascades and block ...

Vibrio cholerae biofilms use modular adhesins with glycan-targeting and nonspecific surface binding domains for colonization

Nature Communications, 2023
Bacterial biofilms are formed on environmental surfaces and host tissues, and facilitate host colonization and antibiotic resistance by human pathogens.

Description of a novel adhesin of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis [PDF]

, 2014
The binding and ingestion of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) by host cells are fibronectin (FN) dependent. In several species of mycobacteria, a specific family of proteins allows the attachment and internalization of these bacteria by ...

Outer Membrane Proteome of Veillonella parvula: A Diderm Firmicute of the Human Microbiome

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Veillonella parvula is a biofilm-forming commensal found in the lungs, vagina, mouth, and gastro-intestinal tract of humans, yet it may develop into an opportunistic pathogen.

Essential role of calcium in extending RTX adhesins to their target

Journal of Structural Biology: X, 2020
RTX adhesins are long, multi-domain proteins present on the outer membrane of many Gram-negative bacteria. From this vantage point, adhesins use their distal ligand-binding domains for surface attachment leading to biofilm formation.

Innovative solutions to sticky situations: Antiadhesive strategies for treating bacterial infections [PDF]

, 2016
Bacterial adherence to host tissue is an essential process in pathogenesis, necessary for invasion and colonization and often required for the efficient delivery of toxins and other bacterial effectors.

Two essential light chains regulate the MyoA lever arm to promote Toxoplasma gliding motility [PDF]

, 2015
Key to the virulence of apicomplexan parasites is their ability to move through tissue and to invade and egress from host cells. Apicomplexan motility requires the activity of the glideosome, a multicomponent molecular motor composed of a type XIV myosin,

Type III Secretion Effectors with Arginine N-Glycosyltransferase Activity [PDF]

, 2020
Type III secretion systems are used by many Gram-negative bacterial pathogens to inject proteins, known as effectors, into the cytosol of host cells. These virulence factors interfere with a diverse array of host signal transduction pathways and cellular

Coaggregation properties of trimeric autotransporter adhesins [PDF]

MicrobiologyOpen, 2020
AbstractTrimeric autotransporter adhesins (TAAs) comprise a group of virulence‐related proteins in Gram‐negative bacteria. Members of this family bind to extracellular matrix components such as collagen and fibronectin, but also they exhibit several other functions, such as conferring serum resistance and autoaggregation.
