Dissecting the role of the Tir:Nck and Tir:IRTKS/IRSp53 signalling pathways in vivoValerie F Crepin
Centre for Molecular Microbiology and Infection, Division of Cell and Molecular Biology, Imperial College London, London, UK
Mol Microbiol 75:308-23. 2010..Importantly, wild-type C. rodentium out-competed the tir tyrosine mutants during mixed infections. These results uncouple the Tir:Nck and Tir:IRTKS pathways from A/E lesion formation in vivo but assign them an important in vivo role...
The T3SS effector EspT defines a new category of invasive enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) which form intracellular actin pedestalsRichard Bulgin
Centre for Molecular Microbiology and Infection, Division of Cell and Molecular Biology, Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom

Mol Microbiol 55:1658-70. 2005..In contrast, periplasmic overexpression of EscJ(D1) and EscJ(D2) in the same wild-type bacterium had a dominant-negative phenotype suggesting defective assembly of the TTSS and protein translocation...
Role of NleH, a type III secreted effector from attaching and effacing pathogens, in colonization of the bovine, ovine, and murine gutCordula Hemrajani
Division of Cell and Molecular Biology, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, United Kingdom
Infect Immun 76:4804-13. 2008..Consistent with this, we found that the nleH mutant triggered a significantly lower tumor necrosis factor alpha response than the wild-type strain...
Polarity of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli EspA filament assembly and protein secretionValerie F Crepin
Centre for Molecular Microbiology and Infection, Flowers Building, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK
J Bacteriol 187:2881-9. 2005..Finally, we provide direct evidence that EspA filaments are hollow conduits through which effector proteins are delivered to the extremity of the bacterial cell (and subsequently into the host cell)...
The mechanisms used by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli to control filopodia dynamicsCedric N Berger
Centre for Molecular Microbiology and Infection, Division of Cell and Molecular Biology, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK
Cell Microbiol 11:309-22. 2009..These results show that EPEC effectors modulate actin dynamics by temporal subverting the Rho GTPases and other actin polymerization pathways for the benefit of the adherent pathogen...
Binding to Na(+) /H(+) exchanger regulatory factor 2 (NHERF2) affects trafficking and function of the enteropathogenic Escherichia coli type III secretion system effectors Map, EspI and NleHEric Martinez
Centre for Molecular Microbiology and Infection, Imperial College London, UK
Cell Microbiol 12:1718-31. 2010..Our data suggest that NHERF2 may act as a plasma membrane sorting site, providing a novel regulatory mechanism to control the intracellular spatial and temporal effector protein activity...
The enteropathogenic E. coli effector EspH promotes actin pedestal formation and elongation via WASP-interacting protein (WIP)Alexander R C Wong
Centre for Molecular Microbiology and Infection, Division of Cell and Molecular Biology, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK
Cell Microbiol 14:1051-70. 2012..Our study reveals the intricacies of Tir and EspH-mediated actin signalling pathways that comprise of distinct, convergent and synergistic signalling cascades...
The enteropathogenic Escherichia coli type III secretion system effector Map binds EBP50/NHERF1: implication for cell signalling and diarrhoeaNandi Simpson
Division of Cell and Molecular Biology, Flowers Building, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK
Mol Microbiol 60:349-63. 2006..We report significantly greater diarrhoea following infections with wild-type C. rodentium compared with C. rodentiumDeltamap. These results provide new insights into the mechanisms of EPEC diarrhoea...
Molecular basis of antigenic polymorphism of EspA filaments: development of a peptide display technologyValerie F Crepin
Centre for Molecular Microbiology and Infection, Flowers Building, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK
J Mol Biol 350:42-52. 2005..Accordingly, EspA filaments have a potential to be developed into a novel epitope display system...
