Cryo-EM reveals the membrane-binding phenomenon of EspB, a virulence factor of the mycobacterial type VII secretion system

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) utilizes sophisticated machinery called the type VII secretion system to translocate virulence factors across its complex lipid membrane. EspB, a ∼36 kDa secreted substrate of the ESX-1 apparatus, was shown to cause ESAT-6–independent host cell death. Despite the cur...
