T4SS-dependent TLR5 activation by Helicobacter pylori infection

Toll-like receptor TLR5 recognizes a domain, D1, that is present in flagellins of several pathogenic bacteria but not in Helicobacter pylori. Here, the authors show that TLR5 can be activated independently of flagellin by a component of the H. pylori type IV secretion system that contains a D1-like...
