Deskripsi
Uropathogenic strains of Escherichia coli (UPEC) are a leading cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and invasion involves Rho GTPase members, notably Rac1, to drive actin cytoskeleton rearrangement leading to engulfment. Here, Petracchini et al. provide evidence of an ECM stiffnessmodulated role of Optineurin (OPTN), which regulates HACE1-dependant Rac1 activity and thus controls integrinmediated mechanotransduction and bacterial invasion.
