Article Synopsis
- The type three secretion system (T3SS) is a bacterial mechanism that acts like a needle to inject toxins into host cells, and its structure is crucial for effective toxin delivery.
- Research combined various methods to analyze the T3SS needle and its main protein, PscF, revealing that its structural design affects needle assembly and function.
- Mutations in the PscF protein could hinder needle formation but still allow for some cytotoxicity, indicating that targeting the T3SS needle could lead to new treatments that inhibit bacterial virulence.
Small noncoding RNAs (sRNAs) are ubiquitous posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression. Using the model plant-pathogenic bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria (Xcv), we investigated the highly expressed and conserved sRNA sX13 in detail.
