Title: What are the role of proteins during bacterial invasion?
Post by: Hannah LS on 07/12/2018 10:10:05

Ruth asks:

Can someone please briefly explain the role of invasins and yop proteins in the bacterium Yersinia spp? As far as I understand, invasins and yop proteins possess contradictory roles - why is this? Why does Yersinia possess a need to have both invasins and yop proteins?

What do you think?
