General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function YopJ kills macrophages and dendritic cells, reduces their production of tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-12, and promotes systemic colonization in mouse models of intestinal Yersinia infection. YopJ-promoted cytotoxicity and systemic colonization are associated with significant increases in neutrophils in spleens and the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-18 and gamma interferon in serum samples of mice vaccinated with Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. A proinflammatory, rather than anti-inflammatory, process accompanies YopJ-promoted cytotoxicity leading to increased systemic colonization by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and potentially enhancing adaptive immunity to a live vaccine Yersinia pseudotuberculosis
