Abstract

Bacterial pathogens use several strategies to infect host cells, one of which involves blocking host defenses. During infection, the bacterial effector proteins GtgA, GogA, PipA, and NleC are injected into host cells by the type III secretion system (T3SS), where they suppress the proinflammatory NF-κB signaling pathway to dampen immune responses. The authors demonstrate that these effectors bind NF-κB via their DNA-mimicking regions and uncover differences in effector sequences and structures explaining the individual specificities of these effectors for distinct NF-κB subunits.
