| + | VirA, an essential virulence factor in Shigella disease pathogenesis, is involved in the uptake, motility, and cell-to-cell spread of Shigella organisms within the human host. These functions have been attributed to a VirA protease activity and a mechanism of microtubule destruction via tubulin degradation [Yoshida, S., et al. (2006) Science 314, 985-989]. We report functional and crystallographic data indicating a novel VirA structure that lacks these activities but highlights the homology to the EspG virulence factor of pathogenic Escherichia coli. | ||
| - | + | Structural and functional studies indicate that Shigella VirA is not a protease and does not directly destabilize microtubules.,Germane KL, Ohi R, Goldberg MB, Spiller BW Biochemistry. 2008 Sep 30;47(39):10241-3. Epub 2008 Sep 3. PMID:18763811<ref>PMID:18763811</ref> | |
