Deskripsi

The type III secretion system (T3SS) of bacteria can be used to inject cargo into eukaryotic cells but its lack of target specificity is a disadvantage. Here the authors place the T3SS under the regulation of light by engineering optogenetic switches into the dynamic cytosolic T3SS component SctQ.
