Virulence effector SidJ evolution in Legionella pneumophila is driven by positive selection and intragenic recombination

Effector proteins translocated by the Dot/Icm type IV secretion system determine the virulence of Legionella pneumophila (L. pneumophila). Among these effectors, members of the SidE family (SidEs) regulate several cellular processes through a unique phosphoribosyl ubiquitination mechanism mediated b...
