A third secreted protein that is encoded by the enteropathogenic Escherichia coli pathogenicity island is required for transduction of signals and for attaching and effacing activities in host cells.

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli strains are able to signal host cells, cause dramatic cytoskeletal rearrangements, and adhere intimately to the cell surface in a process known as the attaching and effacing effect. A pathogenicity island of 35 kb known as the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) is...
