Structural Profiling of Bacterial Effectors Reveals Enrichment of Host-Interacting Domains and Motifs

Effector proteins are bacterial virulence factors secreted directly into host cells and, through extensive interactions with host proteins, rewire host signaling pathways to the advantage of the pathogen. Despite the crucial role of globular domains as mediators of protein-protein interactions (PPIs...
