Identification of SycN, YscX, and YscY, three new elements of the Yersinia yop virulon.

ABSTRACT: The Yop virulon allows Yersinia spp. to resist the immune response of the host by injecting harmful proteins into host cells. We identified three new elements of the Yop virulon: SycN, required for normal secretion of YopN, and YscX and YscY, two new components of the secretion machinery.
