Cytosolic companionship: Rickettsia connects with the endoplasmic reticulum

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Rickettsia are bacterial pathogens known for their actin-based motility in the host cell cytoplasm. In this issue, Acevedo-Sánchez and colleagues (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202406122) discover non-motile Rickettsia bacteria hijack host machinery to form stable membrane contact sites with the host endoplasmic reticulum.
