PY - 2006 DA - 2006/06/01 TI - Assembly of the inner rod determines needle length in the type III secretion injectisome JO - Nature SP - 637 EP - 640 VL - 441 IS - 7093 AB - The needle complex or ‘injectisome’ that transfers proteins from bacteria to eukaryotic cells is a virulence factor in many bacterial pathogens. A new study of the Salmonella typhimurium injectisome throws light on the mechanism by which ‘needles’ are produced with the appropriate length.
