RAC2
0.010 Biomarker group BEFREE We determined that YopE and YopH block Rac2 activation and calcium flux, respectively, to inhibit neutrophil primary granule release in isolated human neutrophils.These results demonstrate that <i>Y. pestis</i> coordinates the inhibition of neutrophil primary granule release through the activities of two distinct effectors, and this inhibition promotes <i>Y. pestis</i> survival during primary pneumonic plague.<b>IMPORTANCE</b><i>Yersinia pestis</i> is the causative agent of plague and is one of the deadliest human pathogens.The pneumonic form of <i>Y. pestis</i> infection has played a critical role in the severity of both historical and modern plague outbreaks, yet the host-pathogen interactions that govern the lethality of <i>Yersinia pestis</i> pulmonary infections are incompletely understood. 31822588 2019
