Cryo-EM structures of the YsaN ATPase reveal dodecameric and tetradecameric assemblies in the Yersinia enterocolitica T3SS
Bacterial pathogens deploy sophisticated nanomachines such as the Type III Secretion System (T3SS) to inject effector proteins directly into host cells, thereby subverting cellular defenses and promoting infection. Central to this machinery is a conserved homo-oligomeric ATPase that fuels substrate unfolding and translocation. Despite extensive structural and biochemical studies, the precise…
