Interplay between SpaO variants shapes the architecture of the Salmonella type III secretion sorting platform [PDF]
mBioSalmonella enterica utilizes a virulence-associated type III secretion system (T3SS) to inject bacterial effectors directly into host cells. Central to this machinery is the sorting platform (SP), a cytosolic assembly whose core scaffolding protein, SpaO,

The FliI ATPase couples ATP hydrolysis to substrate switching in bacterial flagellar type-III secretion [PDF]
mBioBacterial flagella are assembled by a specialized type-III secretion system that exports structural subunits in a defined order. While the ATPase FliI is known to couple ATP hydrolysis to substrate translocation, its role in the transition between early ...

Differential regulation of Shigella Spa47 ATPase activity by a native C-terminal product of Spa33
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 Shigella is a Gram-negative bacterial pathogen that relies on a single type three secretion system (T3SS) as its primary virulence factor. The T3SS includes a highly conserved needle-like apparatus that directly injects bacterial effector proteins into ...
