Secreted effector protein SifA

UniProtKB accession:  Q56061

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Effector proteins function to alter host cell physiology and promote bacterial survival in host tissues. This protein is required for endosomal tubulation and formation of Salmonella-induced filaments (Sifs), which are filamentous structures containing lysosomal membrane glycoproteins within epithelial cells. Sif formation is concomitant with intracellular bacterial replication.
