In the mouse model infected with the

(2010), showed that InlC (
internalin family) impairs phosphorylation and delays I[kappa]B degradation often induced by TNF-[alpha], abrogating activation of NF-[kappa]B.
Listeria monocytogenes
internalin and E-cadherin: from bench to bedside.
Like many other microbes, Listeria manufactures a couple of hooks (Listeria's are known as
Internalin A and
Internalin B) that grab onto specific molecules protruding from cells of the intestinal lining.
monocytogenes based on genetic loci in several genes: the hemolysin (hlyA),
internalin (inlA), positive regulatory factor (prfA), and actin polymerization (actA1, actA2) genes.
** A membrane protein called
internalin mediates invasion of the host cell by Listeria bacteria.
monocytogenes virulence mechanisms has shown that certain mutations in the inlA gene, which encodes for
internalin (a membrane-anchored protein responsible for L.
