Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli employs a filamentous type III secretion system, made by homopolymerization of the translocator protein EspA. In this study, we have shown that the N-terminal region of EspA has a role in EspA's protein stability, interaction with the CesAB chaperone, and filament biogenesis and function.
肠道致病性大肠杆菌利用一种丝状III型分泌系统,该系统由转运蛋白EspA的同聚物聚合而成。在本研究中,我们已经表明,EspA的N端区域在EspA的蛋白质稳定性、与CesAB伴侣蛋白的相互作用以及丝状结构的形成和功能方面发挥作用。
