A CRISPR Screen Using Subtilase Cytotoxin Identifies SLC39A9 as a Glycan-Regulating Factor

Summary: Subtilase cytotoxin (SubAB) is a virulence factor produced by locus of enterocyte effacement-negative Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli strains. The toxin recognizes sialoglycans for entry and cleaves an endoplasmic reticulum chaperon, binding immunoglobulin protein, to cause cell death. How...
