Deskripsi

Hubs tend to be essential for function in protein networks within organisms. Here, the authors show that during infection, it is the proteins with high centrality in theY. pestishost–pathogen interactome that are most important for pathogen fitness during infection, and highlight the importance of pathogen proteins that likely cause significant perturbation of the host interactome.
