The Rickettsia actin-based motility effectors RickA and Sca2 contribute differently to cell-to-cell spread and pathogenicity by Cuong J. Tran, Zahra Zubair-Nizami, Ingeborg M. Langohr, Matthew D. Welch

“…Our results suggest that actin-based motility effectors RickA and Sca2 drive two distinct forms of cell-to-cell spread and contribute differently to pathogenicity in the mammalian host.IMPORTANCERickettsia parkeri, a bacterium in the spotted fever group of Rickettsia species, can be transmitted from ticks to humans, leading to symptoms including fever, rash, muscle aches, and a lesion at the site of the tick bite. During Rickettsia parkeri infection, bacteria invade cells within the animal host, proliferate in the host cell’s cytosol, move using a process called actin-based motility, and spread to neighboring host cells. …”
