摘要
HilA activates the transcription of genes on Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI1), which encodes a type III secretion system (TTSS). Previous studies showed that transposon insertions in orgC, a gene located on SPI1, increase hil4 expression. We characterize the orgC gene product and show that it is secreted via the SPI1 TTSS. We propose a model whereby OrgC functions as a secreted repressor of the SPI1 virulence genes.
