The genus Yersinia contains three species pathogenic to humans: Y. pestis, Y. enterocolitica e Y. pseudotuberculosis. The pathogenicity of Yersinia is linked to the presence of a 70-kb virulence plasmid (pYV) that is common to the three species and codifies a type III secretion system and a set of virulence proteins, including those known as Yersinia outer proteins (Yops), that are exported by this system when the bacteria encounter host cells. Two Yops translocators (YopB and YopD) are inserted into the host plasma membrane and transport six effectors (YopO, YopH, YopM, YopJ and YopT) across the membrane into the cytosol of the host cell. The Yops effectors interfere with multiple signaling pathways of the infected cell, affecting both the innate and adaptive immune responses. This article focuses on the role of Yops in the modulation of the host immune response.
O gênero Yersinia compreende três espécies patogênicas para humanos: Y. pestis , Y. enterocolitica e Y. pseudotuberculosis . A patogenicidade de Yersinia está ligada à presença do plasmideo de 70-kb (pYV) que é comum às três espécies e codifica um sistema de secreção do tipo III e um conjunto de proteínas de virulência, incluindo aquelas conhecidas como Yops (Yersinia outer proteins), que são exportadas por este sistema quando as células do hospedeiro são infectadas pela bactéria. Duas Yops translocadoras (YopB e YopD) se inserem na membrana plasmática e funcionam no transporte de seis efetoras (YopO, YopH, YopM, YopJ e YopT) para o citosol da célula do hospedeiro. As Yops efetoras funcionam interferindo em múltiplas vias de sinalização da célula infectada. Como conseqüência, a resposta imune inata e adaptativa do hospedeiro fica afetada. Este trabalho enfoca o papel das Yops na modulação da resposta imune do hospedeiro. Palavras-chave: Yersinia ; Yops, fagocitose, citocinas, anticorpos.
