“…In contrast, the network responsible for controlling expression, assembly, and function of the SPI1 T3SS is still being actively investigated. It is quite clear that HilA is the proximal activator of SPI1 genes (4,7,8,26,33,34,43,49) and that hilA transcription is controlled by two other regulators, HilD and HilC (3,9,10,11,19,37,39,41,42,47,52). These regulators, in turn, have been reported to be controlled by four two-component signal transduction pathways.…”
