Abstract: Many bacterial pathogens rely on dedicated secretion systems to translocate virulence proteins termed 'effectors' into host cells. These effectors engage and manipulate host cellular functions to support bacterial colonization and propagation. The secretion systems are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tibtech.2016.08.002
Abstract: Bacterial pathogens have developed intriguing virulence mechanisms, including several sophisticated nanomachines, for injecting effector proteins to manipulate host immune signaling pathways for their own benefit. Therefore, bacterial genomes harbor a wealth of information about how… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1113021
Abstract: Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are critical in regulating protein function by altering chemical characteristics of proteins. Phosphorylation is an integral PTM, catalyzed by kinases and reversibly removed by phosphatases, that modulates many cellular processes in response… read more here.
