Crystal structure of the Yersinia Type III Secretion protein YscE

Overview

The plague-causing bacterium Yersinia pestis utilizes a contact-dependent, (type III) secretion system (T3SS) to transport virulence factors from the, bacterial cytosol directly into the interior of mammalian cells where they, interfere with signal transduction pathways that mediate phagocytosis and, the inflammatory response. The type III secretion apparatus is composed of, 20-25 different Yersinia secretion (Ysc) proteins. We report here the, structure of YscE, the smallest Ysc protein, which is a dimer in solution., The probable mode of oligomerization is discussed.
