Chlamydia pneumoniae CopD translocator protein plays a critical role in type III secretion (T3S) and infection.
Pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria use type III secretion (T3S) to inject effector proteins into the host cell to create appropriate conditions for infection and intracellular replication. Chlamydia spp. are believed to use T3S to infect their host cell, and the translocator proteins are an essential...
