Prevalence, Biogenesis, and Functionality of the Serine Protease Autotransporter EspP

Prevalence, Biogenesis, and Functionality of the Serine Protease Autotransporter EspP

Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) causes severe diseases in humans worldwide. One of its virulence factors is EspP, which belongs to the serine protease autotransporters of Enterobacteriaceae (SPATE) family. In this review we recapitulate the current data on prevalence, biogenesis, structural propert...
