1XOU - PubMed Abstract: 
The type III secretion system (TTSS) mediates the specific translocation of bacterial proteins into the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, a process essential for the virulence of many Gram-negative pathogens. The enteropathogenic Escherichia coli TTSS protein EspA forms a hollow extracellular filament believed to be a molecular conduit for type III protein translocation ...
