Evolution of N‐terminal mechanical lability as a determinant for Type III secretion
Using atomic‐force‐microscopy‐based force spectroscopy, it is shown that effector NleC is mechanically labile and mechanically compliant, supporting the notion that mechanical lability is an evolved, structurally encoded feature underlying effector secretion.
