Legionella species are environmental gram-negative bacteria able to cause a severe form of
pneumonia in humans known as Legionnaires' disease. Since the identification of …

Legionella pneumophila and Coxiella burnetii are two evolutionarily related intracellular
pathogens that use the Dot/Icm type IV secretion system to translocate effectors into host …

The ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) is the major intracellular and non-lysosomal
protein degradation system. Thanks to its unique capacity of eliminating old, damaged …

Infection by the human pathogen Legionella pneumophila relies on the translocation of∼
300 virulence proteins, termed effectors, which manipulate host cell processes. However …

Photosynthesis, pathogen infection, and plant defense are three important biological
processes that have been investigated separately for decades. Photosynthesis generates …

The type III secretion system with its delivered type III effectors (T3Es) is one of the main
virulence determinants of Ralstonia solanacearum, a worldwide devastating plant …

Rhizoctonia solani is a major fungal pathogen of rice (Oryza sativa L.) that causes great
yield losses in all rice-growing regions of the world. Here we report the draft genome …

The agent of Q fever, Coxiella burnetii, is an obligate intracellular bacterium that causes
acute and chronic infections. The study of C. burnetii pathogenesis has benefited from two …

Effectors delivered into host cells by the Legionella pneumophila Dot/Icm type IV transporter
are essential for the biogenesis of the specialized vacuole that permits its intracellular …
