Helical reconstruction of Salmonella and Shigella needle filaments attached to type 3 basal bodies

Helical reconstruction of Salmonella and Shigella needle filaments attached to type 3 basal bodies

Gram-negative pathogens evolved a syringe-like nanomachine, termed type 3 secretion system, to deliver protein effectors into the cytoplasm of host cells. An essential component of this system is a long helical needle filament that protrudes from the bacterial surface and connects the cytoplasms of...
