Inside A Microscopic Factory: How Bacteria Organize Proteins For Infection
Serine phosphorylation of CesT by the type III secretion system effectors NleH1 and NleH2 regulates antagonization of CsrA in enteropathogenic Escherichia coli Esther Tang 1, Angeline C Beltran 1, Senthuran Mahendradeva 1, Abiali A Badani 1, Dustin J Little Like pirates boarding a ship they’re about to raid, food-poisoning bacteria inject proteins into the cells lining our small intestine to hijack them. This createsContinueContinue reading “Inside A Microscopic Factory: How Bacteria Organize Proteins For Infection”
