Cell-autonomous immunity represents evolutionarily conserved defense mechanisms present in both immune and non-immune cells. One of such mechanisms is mediated by cytoskeletal septins that entrap cytosolic bacterial pathogens within cage-like structures. To promote infection, Shigella flexneri delivers effector proteins directly into host cells via a type III secretion system. Here we demonstrate that OspC effectors enable Shigella flexneri to evade septin cage entrapment. Mechanistically, OspC ...[more]
