DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Coxiella burnetii is an intracellular pathogen that causes the human disease Q-fever. Mechanisms by which this bacterial pathogen exploits human cells remain unknown. This project is focused on identifying key virulence determinants in Coxiella and determining how these factors promote infection. The Coxiella Dot/Icm system is a functional protein secretion machine that promotes infection by delivering bacterial effectors into host cells. We have identified Coxiella effector proteins and host proteins important for infection. To understand the interface between these bacterial determinants and host proteins the following specific aims will be completed. Aim 1) Identify Coxiella effectors and host factors required for infection using genome-wide screening approaches. Aim 2) Determine the role of the Coxiella Dot/Icm system during infection and identify bacterial determinants required for intracellular replication. Aim 3) Elucidate the function of Coxiella effectors.

描述（由申请人提供）：伯氏柯克斯体是一种引起人类疾病Q热的细胞内病原体。这种细菌病原体利用人类细胞的机制仍然未知。该项目的重点是确定柯克斯体的关键毒力决定因素，并确定这些因素如何促进感染。 Coxiella Dot/Icm 系统是一种功能性蛋白质分泌机器，通过将细菌效应物输送到宿主细胞中来促进感染。我们已经鉴定出对感染很重要的柯克斯体效应蛋白和宿主蛋白。为了了解这些细菌决定簇和宿主蛋白之间的界面，将完成以下具体目标。目标 1) 使用全基因组筛选方法识别感染所需的柯克斯体效应子和宿主因子。目标 2) 确定 Coxiella Dot/Icm 系统在感染过程中的作用，并确定细胞内复制所需的细菌决定因素。目标 3) 阐明柯克斯体效应器的功能。
