SPI-1 type 3 secretion system ATPase

UniProtKB accession:  P0A1B9

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  ATPase component of the type III secretion system (T3SS), also called injectisome, which is used to inject bacterial effector proteins into eukaryotic host cells (PubMed:15060043, PubMed:16208377, PubMed:26170413). Acts as a molecular motor to provide the energy that is required for the export of proteins (Probable). Required for type III secretion apparatus (T3SA) formation, proper protein secretion, host cell invasion and virulence (PubMed:8045880, PubMed:14762212, PubMed:15060043, PubMed:26170413). May play a critical role in T3SS substrate recognition, disassembly of the effector/chaperone complex and unfolding of the effector in an ATP-dependent manner prior to secretion (PubMed:16208377). Releases the effector protein SptP from the chaperone SicP in an ATP-dependent manner (PubMed:16208377).
