Structure of the transmembrane domain of Salmonella insertion protein B (SipB). Mechanism of insertion investigated by novel biophysical and computational methodologies.

The entry of Salmonella into host cells begins with the translocation of bacterial effector proteins into host cells, SipB is involved in this translocon formation and is thus critical to invasion. Our main objective was to obtain a detailed picture of the mechanism of membrane insertion and possib...
