Abstract:
The bacterium Listeria monocytogenes invades a variety of cells in vitro and in vivo. Two proteins are crucial in this process: internalin, which interacts with E-cadherin, and InlB. The first identified ligand for InlB was gC1qR, which has no cytoplasmic domain. The newly discovered InlB receptor, Met, fits with the known InlB-induced signals.
