  2. 1. Regulation of the multi-functional protein YscU in assembly of the Yersinia type III secretion injectisome

    Author : Ho Ngoc Hoang Oanh; Magnus Wolf-Watz; Anna Linusson Jonsson; Maria Sunnerhagen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Type III secretion system T3SS ; injectisome; Yersinia pseudotuberculosis; inhibitors; Yops; YscU; YscP; YscI; disorder-to-order transition; nuclear magnetic resonance NMR ; circular dichroism CD ; isothermal titration calorimetry ITC ; biologisk kemi; biological chemistry;

    Abstract : Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is a Gram-negative zoonotic pathogenic bacterium causing gastroenteritis in human and animals. It shares a conserved virulence plasmid encoding for a needle-like secretion machinery, or type III secretion system, which can be found in other pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria. READ MORE

  4. 2. Virulence mechanisms of pathogenic Yersinia : aspects of type III secretion and twin arginine translocation

    Author : Moa Lavander; Åke Forsberg; George Salmond; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; Yersinia pestis; Yersinia pseudotuberculosis; bacterial pathogenesis; type III secretion; twin arginine translocation; virulence mechanisms; YscU; YscP; YscF; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : The pathogenic bacteria Yersinia pestis and Y. pseudotuberculosis are related to the degree where the former is considered a subspecies of the latter, and still they cause disease of little resemblance in humans. Y. pestis is the causative agent of lethal bubonic and pneumonic plague, while Y. READ MORE

  5. 3. Meticulous control of the T3SS of Yersinia is essential for full virulence

    Author : Ann-Catrin Björnfot; Hans Wolf-Watz; Kelly T. Hughes; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Yersinia; type III secretion; YscU; substrate specificity switch; heat shock proteins; VagH; methyltransferase; virulence; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : The type III secretion system (T3SS) of pathogenic Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is involved in virulence. The syringe-like secretion system spans both bacterial membranes and is responsible for the ability of Yersinia to transfer toxic proteins (Yop proteins) into the eukaryotic target cell. READ MORE
