Phosphorylation of caspases by a bacterial kinase inhibits host programmed cell death

Abstract The intracellular bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila utilizes the Dot/Icm system to translocate over 330 effectors into the host cytosol. These virulence factors modify a variety of cell processes, including pathways involved in cell death and survival, to promote bacterial prolifera...
