Ehrlichia chaffeensis exploits host SUMOylation pathways to mediate effector - host interactions and promote intracellular survival.
Ehrlichia chaffeensis TRP120 activates canonical Notch signaling to downregulate TLR2 / 4 expression and promote intracellular survival.
Ehrlichia chaffeensis TRP120 interacts with a diverse array of eukaryotic proteins involved in transcription, signaling, and cytoskeleton organization.
