Expression of a Functional Secreted YopN-TyeA Hybrid Protein inYersinia pestisIs the Result of a +1 Translational Frameshift Event

Abstract
YopN is a secreted protein that prior to secretion directly interacts with the cytosolic SycN/YscB chaperone complex and TyeA. This study identifies a secreted YopN-TyeA hybrid protein that is expressed by Yersinia pestis, but not by Yersinia enterocolitica. DNA sequence analysis and site-directed mutagenesis studies demonstrate that the hybrid protein is the result of a +1 translational frameshift event.
