Pathogen hijacks focal adhesion signaling by a T3SS effector CteX
Summary
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 15, April 2026. SignificanceMany bacterial pathogens utilize type III secretion systems to inject effector proteins that manipulate host cell signaling. We identified CteX, a cysteine protease effector fromChromobacterium violaceumthat exhibits no sequence homology to ...
