| Research Abstract |
To investigate the factors involved in the maintenance of the Shigella infected host cell, one of the secreted effectors, OspE2, was analyzed of its role during the infection. In addition to OspE2, two homologues of OspE2, EspO1-1 and EspO1-2, in enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) were also investigated for their roles during infection. The results suggested that these two OspE2 homologues in EHEC also play a role in maintaining the architecture of the infected cells but partly in a different mechanism involving RhoA-Rock signal cascade in the cell.
