The spectrin cytoskeleton is crucial for adherent and invasive bacterial pathogenesis

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Invasive Bacterial Pathogenesis and collaborators from the Department of Biological Sciences, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada have published the article: The Spectrin Cytoskeleton Is Crucial for Adherent and Invasive Bacterial Pathogenesis, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of May/16,/2011
• what: The authors show that the spectrin cytoskeleton is a host system that is hijacked by adherent (Entropathogenic Escherichia coli ) triggering (Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium ) and zippering (Listeria monocytogenes) bacteria. The authors demonstrate that spectrin cytoskeletal proteins are recruited to EPEC pedestals S. Typhimurium membrane ruffles and Salmonella containing vacuoles (SCVs) as well . . .
