T3SS effectors enter the needle complex at the base and make their way inside the needle towards the host cell. The exact way in which effectors enter the host is mostly unknown. It has been previously suggested that the needle itself is capable of puncturing a hole in the host cell membrane; this theory has been refuted.
Given the diversity of effectors, they affect a wide variety of intracellular processes. The T3SS effectors of pathogenic E. coli, Shigella, Salmonella, and Yersinia regulate actin dynamics to facilitate their own attachment or invasion, subvert endocytic trafficking, block phagocytosis, modulate apoptotic pathways, and manipulate innate immunity as well as host responses.
T3SS schematic. Type III secretion system (T3SS or TTSS) is structurally similar and related to the basal body of bacterial flagella. Seen in some of the most virulent Gram-negative bacteria such as Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia, Vibrio, it is used to inject toxic proteins into eukaryotic cells. The structure of T3SS is often described as an ...
T3SS secretes Tir into the host cell membrane and induces the formation of pedestals, resulting in attachment and effacing lesions on epithelial cells. Expression of T3SS associated genes is regulated by LEE and is activated through the EvgSA two component system in the presence of nicotinamide.
T3SS is a specialized protein secretion machinery that exports virulence factors directly to host cells. These factors subvert normal host cell functions to the benefit of invading bacteria. In contrast to the general secretory pathway, the T3SS is triggered when a pathogen comes in contact with host cells.
Ysr141 sRNA was shown to regulate the synthesis of the type III secretion system (T3SS) effector protein YopJ. [22] The Yop-Ysc T3SS is a critical component of virulence for Yersinia species. [ 23 ] Many novel sRNAs were identified from Y. pestis grown in vitro and in the infected lungs of mice suggesting they play role in bacterial physiology ...

The bacterial membranes contain the type III secretion system (T3SS), which functions essentially as a molecular syringe. The needle-like apparatus secretes effectors, which go from the bacterial cell to the host cell via the tip of the apparatus, creating a hole in the membrane of the host cell.
