Src-dependent tyrosine-phosphorylation of NM2A has a protective role against bacterial pore-forming toxins

Cláudia Brito, Francisco Sarmento Mesquita, Joana M. Pereira…·Sandra Sousa

The paper identifies a protective pathway where LLO-induced Src activation phosphorylates NMHC2A, enabling cytoskeletal reorganization and PM damage response, conserved in C. elegans.
