The Search for YopX Function Yersinia spp

Experimental design paper

Topic: Design a study that could confirm a role for the protein of interest in eukaryotic cells.

This paper discusses what is known about how a molecule that is expressed by Yersinia can traffic to the hosts mitochondrion, describes an experiment to confirm YopX localizes in the mitochondrion, and provides insight on the function of the protein as well as pitfalls.
