U01.03.013 Bacterial virulence factor Bacterial virulence factors are specialized molecules or structures that enable bacteria to colonize hosts, evade immune responses, and cause disease. These include capsules, toxins, adhesins, enzymes, and secretion systems that enhance pathogenicity and determine disease severity.

Virulence protein J domain 1 maintains the canonical α/β-hydrolase fold but is likely to lack a functional catalytic triad, suggesting functional divergence from classical hydrolases of this superfamily #BacterialPathogens #TypeIVSecretionSystem doi.org/10.1107/S205...
