Plagiarism and pathogenesis: common themes in actin remodeling

Dev Cell. 2001 Sep;1(3):317-8. doi: 10.1016/s1534-5807(01)00051-x.

Abstract

The involvement of Nck in pedestal formation by EPEC highlights the similar strategies adopted by this bacterium and the Vaccinia virus to hijack the host cell's cytoskeleton.
