Type: | Family | Name: | Type III secretion system chaperone YscB |
Description: | Members of this family include YscB of Yersinia and functionally equivalent (but differently named) proteins from type III secretion systems of other pathogens that affect animal cells. In Yersinia pestis, the secretion of effector proteins, termed Yersinia outer proteins (Yops), is regulated by the activity of the YopN/SycN/YscB/TyeA complex. YscB acts, along with SycN (), as a chaperone for YopN, a key part of a complex that regulates type III secretion so that it responds to contact with the eukaryotic target cell [, ]. | Short Name: | T3SS_YscB |
