Molecular classification
Protein, Type III Secretion System Component
01

Overview

Type III secretion protein PcrV is an indispensable structural regulator at the tip complex of the T3SS "injectisome" used by Gram-negative pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It orchestrates assembly/functionality of membrane pores needed to deliver toxic effectors into host cells—a process central to pathogenesis—and serves as both a validated drug target and promising vaccine candidate due to its surface exposure/conservation among clinical isolates.
