Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli employs a filamentous type III secretion system, made by homopolymerization of the translocator protein EspA. In this study, we have shown that the N-terminal region of EspA has a role in EspA's protein stability, interaction with the CesAB chaperone, and filament biogenesis and function.
