“…Shigella possesses 12 ipaH genes, which encode IpaH proteins that injected into host cells via the T3SS (Otsubo, Kim, Lee, & Sasakawa, ; Rohde, Breitkreutz, Chenal, Sansonetti, & Parsot, ; Singer et al, ; Zhu et al, ). IpaH family proteins contain N‐terminal leucine‐rich repeats (LRRs) and have E3 ubiquitin ligase activity in their conserved C‐terminal regions (CTRs; de Jong, Liu, Chen, & Alto, ; Li et al, ; Wandel et al, ; Zheng et al, ). IpaH family proteins are widely conserved among animal and plant pathogens, including Shigella (IpaH), Salmonella (SspH1, SspH2, and SirP), Edwardsiella , Bradyrhizobium , Rhizobium , and some Pseudomonas species, implying that these effectors play important roles in bacterial infection (Quezada, Hicks, Galan, & Stebbins, ).…”
