title: Hijacking the host cell proteasome.
abstract: Uropathogenic Escherichia coli subvert host cell signaling mechanisms to induce cellular responses that facilitate bacterial invasion and colonization. A recent publication in the November 15 issue of Cell shows that the bacterium may accomplish such a feat by hijacking the proteasome machinery.
