EspL is essential for virulence and stabilizes EspE, EspF and EspH levels in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

The ESX-1, type VII, secretion system represents the major virulence determinant of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, one of the most successful intracellular pathogens. Here, by combining genetic and high-throughput approaches, we show that EspL, a protein of 115 amino acids, is essential for mediating E...
