Characterization of the N-terminal domain of BteA: a Bordetella type III secreted cytotoxic effector.

BteA, a 69-kDa cytotoxic protein, is a type III secretion system (T3SS) effector in the classical Bordetella, the etiological agents of pertussis and related mammalian respiratory diseases. Currently there is limited information regarding the structure of BteA or its subdomains, and no insight as to...

Characterization of the N-terminal domain of BteA: a Bordetella type III secreted cytotoxic effector.

Currently there is limited information regarding the structure of BteA or its subdomains, and no insight as to the identity of its eukaryotic partners(s) and their modes of interaction with BteA.
