Helical packing of needles from functionally altered Shigella type III secretion systems.
Gram-negative bacteria commonly interact with eukaryotic host cells using type III secretion systems (TTSSs or secretons), which comprise cytoplasmic, transmembrane and extracellular domains. The extracellular domain is a hollow needle-like structure protruding 60 nm beyond the bacterial surface. Th...
