Interactions of the Transmembrane Polymeric Rings of the <named-content content-type="genus-species">Salmonella enterica</named-content> Serovar Typhimurium Type III Secretion System

ABSTRACT The type III secretion system (T3SS) is an interspecies protein transport machine that plays a major role in interactions of Gram-negative bacteria with animals and plants by delivering bacterial effector proteins into host cells. T3SSs span both membranes of Gram-negative bacteria by formi...
