Assembly, structure, function and regulation of type III secretion systems

Nature Reviews Microbiology 15, 323 (2017). doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2017.20 Authors: Wanyin Deng, Natalie C. Marshall, Jennifer L. Rowland, James M. McCoy, Liam J. Worrall, Andrew S. Santos, Natalie C. J. Strynadka & B. Brett Finlay Type III secretion systems (T3SSs) are protein transport nanomachines that are found in Gram-negative bacterial pathogens and symbionts. Resembling molecular syringes, T3SSs form channels that cross the bacterial envelope and the host cell membrane, which enable bacteria to inject numerous effector proteins into the host
