  2. 1. Antiphagocytosis by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis : role of the YopH target proteins

    Author : Ming Yuan; Maria Fallman; Tommy Nilsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Molecular biology; Cas; Fyb; mAbp1; SKAP-HOM; Yersinia pseudotuberculosis; YopH; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : The enteropathogenic bacterium Yersinia pseudotuberculosis binds to β1 integrins on a host cell via its surface protein invasin. This event stimulates signal transduction to the actin cytoskeleton of the eukaryotic cell, which allows the cell to engulf the bacterium that is attached to its surface. However, the pathogen Y.

  4. 2. Role of the Yersinia protein YopK in microbe-host interactions

    Author : Sara Thorslund; Maria Fällman; James Bliska; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Yersinia; YopK; T3SS; antiphagocytosis; neutrophil; translocation; virulence; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : There are three human pathogenic species of the genus Yersiniae: Yersinia pestis, Yersinia enterocolitica, and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. To cause disease, these strains inhibit several key innate defense mechanisms, including phagocytosis, the critical process for bacterial clearance. READ MORE

  5. 3. Biogenesis, function and regulation of the type III secretion translocon of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis

    Author : Salah I. Farag; Matthew S Francis; Jörgen Johansson; Åke Forsberg; Luís Jaime Mota; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Yersinia pseudotuberculosis; type III secretion system; translocation; translocon; regulation; bacteria-eukaryotic cell contact; cytokine profiling;

    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
