Abstract
- Eukaryote-interacting bacteria have developed along the evolution of an arsenal of tools to interact with potential hosts and to evade their defensive responses. Among these tools, the effector proteins are gaining a special importance due to the high diversity of molecular actions that they play in the host cell, with the final aim of taking the control over the cell. Bacteria inject these effectors into the cytosol of the host cells through distinct ways, as the type III secretion system. The study of the effectors' molecular roles inside the host cell is challenging, due in part to the lack of traceability of such proteins once they are delivered by the bacteria. Here, we describe in depth a methodology that combines the increase of the bacterial effector concentration by protein expression systems with the use of heterologous hosts to facilitate the visualization of the subcellular targeting of the effector inside the host cell by fluorescence microscopy.<br /> (© 2024.
