EPEC Recruits a Cdc42-Specific GEF, Frabin, To Facilitate PAK Activation and Host Cell Colonization

ABSTRACT Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is an extracellular pathogen that tightly adheres to host cells by forming “actin pedestals” beneath the bacteria, a critical step in pathogenesis. EPEC injects effector proteins that manipulate host cell signaling cascades to trigger pedestal assemb...
