Cryo-EM structures of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> vacuolating cytotoxin A oligomeric assemblies at near-atomic resolution.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 20190320 14
Human gastric pathogen <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> (<i>H. pylori</i>) is the primary risk factor for gastric cancer and is one of the most prevalent carcinogenic infectious agents. Vacuolating cytotoxin A (VacA) is a key virulence factor secreted by <i>H. pylori</i> and induces multiple cellular responses. Although structural and functional studies of VacA have been extensively performed, the high-resolution structure of a full-length VacA protomer and the molecular basis of its oligomerization a ...[more]
