The protease GtgE from Salmonella exclusively targets inactive Rab GTPases

The bacterial protease GtgE is involved in the establishment of Salmonellosis. Here the authors provide a structural and biochemical analysis of GtgE that sheds light on the molecular mechanisms of reprogramming infected host cells via site-specific proteolytic cleavage of the vesicular trafficking...

Description
Summary:The bacterial protease GtgE is involved in the establishment of Salmonellosis. Here the authors provide a structural and biochemical analysis of GtgE that sheds light on the molecular mechanisms of reprogramming infected host cells via site-specific proteolytic cleavage of the vesicular trafficking regulator Rab32.
