The paper reports on a new way in which pathogenic bacteria interfere with the function of Rho GTP-binding proteins.
Pathogenic bacteria use the type III secretion system (TTSS) to inject virulence factors into host cells. Many of these interfere with Rho protein function in a variety of ways. They act as guanine nucleotide exchange...
