1. Controlling substrate export by the Ysc-Yop type III secretion system in Yersinia
Abstract : Several pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria invest in sophisticated type III secretion systems (T3SS) to incapacitate their eukaryotic hosts. T3SSs can secrete protein cargo outside the bacterial cell and also target many of them into the eukaryotic cell interior. READ MORE

2. YopD translocator function in Yersinia pseudotuberculosis type III secretion
Abstract : Type III secretion systems (T3SS) are a common feature of Gram-negative bacteria, allowing them to inject anti-host effectors into the interior of infected eukaryotic cells. By this mechanism, these virulence factors help the bacteria to modulate eukaryotic cell function in its favor and subvert host innate immunity. READ MORE

3. Multiple twists in the molecular tales of YopD and LcrH in type III secretion by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis
Abstract : The type III secretion system (T3SS) is a highly conserved secretion system among Gram negative bacteria that translocates anti-host proteins directly into the infected cells to overcome the host immune system and establish a bacterial infection. Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is one of three pathogenic Yersinia spp. READ MORE

4. Pathogenic Neisseria : Single cell motility, multicellular dynamics and antimicrobial susceptibility
Abstract : Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae can colonize humans without causing any symptoms. However, gonorrhea and invasive meningococcal disease are serious health concerns. An essential virulence factor for neisserial adhesion to host cells, twitching motility and microcolony formation/aggregation is the retractile type IV pili (Tfp). READ MORE

5. Biogenesis, function and regulation of the type III secretion translocon of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis
Abstract : Many Gram negative bacteria use type III secretion systems to cross-talk with eukaryotic cells. Type III secretion system assembly and function is tightly regulated. READ MORE
