YscV
YscV is a protein encoded by the yscV gene in Yersinia species and is a component of the Ysc-Yop type III secretion system (T3SS). This secretion system is a virulence apparatus used by pathogenic Yersinia to inject effector proteins into host cells.
YscV is among the core structural components of the T3SS basal body. It is typically localized to
Functional studies indicate that loss or disruption of yscV impairs secretion of effector proteins and reduces
Although detailed structural information is limited, YscV is predicted to be largely α-helical and capable of
