Orientia tsutsugamushi Ank5 promotes NLRC5 cytoplasmic retention and degradation to inhibit MHC class I expression [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsHow intracellular bacteria subvert the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I pathway is poorly understood. Here, we show that the obligate intracellular bacterium Orientia tsutsugamushi uses its effector protein, Ank5, to inhibit nuclear ...
