A family of conserved bacterial virulence factors dampens interferon responses by blocking calcium signalingThe OspC type-III-secreted effectors in Shigella bind calmodulin and block interferon signaling, independently of the cell-death-inhibitory activities of this family of proteins. Conservation of this function in homologs of other bacterial species suggests a common role for Ca2+ and interferon targeting in bacterial pathogenesis.The OspC type-III-secreted effectors in Shigella bind calmodulin and block interferon signaling, independently of the cell-death-inhibitory activities of this family of proteins.
