Comparison of the invasion strategies used by Salmonella cholerae-suis, Shigella flexneri and Yersinia enterocolitica to enter cultured animal cells: endosome acidification is not required for bacterial invasion or intracellular replication.

abstract：:Mammalian aminoacylase-1 (Acy1) participates in the breakdown of N-acetylated amino acids during intracellular protein catabolism. Acy1 is most abundantly expressed in the kidney tubular epithelium. Lately, Acy1 deficiency was identified in children with increased urinary excretion of several N-acetylamino acids. Here...
