Biogenesis of the SpaciousCoxiella-Containing Vacuole Depends on Host Transcription Factors TFEB and TFE3
Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen that replicates inside the lysosome-derived Coxiella -containing vacuole (CCV). To establish this unique niche, C. burnetii requires the Dot/Icm type IV secretion system (T4SS) to translocate a cohort of effector proteins into the host cell, which modulate multiple cellular processes.
