The rickettsial effector Sca4 has a conserved interaction with host clathrin and a tick cell specific role in infection

Intracellular bacterial pathogens secrete effectors to manipulate the host cell environment, create a hospitable niche, and promote infection. While many effectors interact with specific host machinery to perform a single distinct function, some effectors are capable of interaction with multiple hos...
