The secretion signal of YopN, a regulatory protein of the Yersinia enterocolitica type III secretion pathway.
The type III secretion signal of Yersinia enterocolitica YopN was mapped using a gene fusion approach. yopN codons 1 to 12 were identified as critical for signal function. Several synonymous mutations that abolish secretion of hybrid proteins without altering the codon specificity of yopN mRNA were identified.
متن کاملYersinia type III secretion
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 the cells' response to infection. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of this system has provided insight into the processes of phagocytosis a...
متن کاملYersinia enterocolitica type III secretion: mutational analysis of the yopQ secretion signal.
Pathogenic Yersinia spp. secrete Yop proteins via the type III pathway. yopQ codons 1 to 15 were identified as a signal necessary and sufficient for the secretion of a fused reporter protein. Frameshift mutations that alter codons 2 to 15 with little alteration of yopQ mRNA sequence do not abolish type III transport, suggesting a model in which yopQ mRNA may provide a signal for secretion (D. M...
متن کاملLcrV, a substrate for Yersinia enterocolitica type III secretion, is required for toxin targeting into the cytosol of HeLa cells.
Pathogenic Yersinia species employ type III machines to transport virulence factors across the bacterial envelope. Some substrates for the type III machinery are secreted into the extracellular medium, whereas others are targeted into the cytosol of host cells. We found that during infection of tissue culture cells, yersiniae secrete small amounts of LcrV into the extracellular medium. Knockout...
متن کاملRegulation of the Yersinia type III secretion system: traffic control
Yersinia species, as well as many other Gram-negative pathogens, use a type III secretion system (T3SS) to translocate effector proteins from the bacterial cytoplasm to the host cytosol. This T3SS resembles a molecular syringe, with a needle-like shaft connected to a basal body structure, which spans the inner and outer bacterial membranes. The basal body of the injectisome shares a high degree...
