title: The Salmonella translocated effector SopA is targeted to the mitochondria of infected cells.
abstract: This study investigates the Salmonella effector protein SopA. We show that in Salmonella enterica serovar Dublin-infected cells, SopA(1-347) fused to two carboxy-terminal hemagglutinin tags partially colocalized with mitochondria. Transfection of eukaryotic cells with a panel of constructs encoding truncated versions of SopA identified that amino acids 100 to 347 were sufficient to target SopA to the mitochondria.
