Common to many bacteria is the ability to establish a symbiotic
relationship or to evade innate immune responses of an animal,
plant, fish or insect host. Most often this capacity is mediated by
a type III secretion system (T3SS). The function of these complex
molecular machines is likened to a syringe-needle injection device
that is dedicated to the translocation of effector proteins
directly into target eukaryotic cells. Unlike traditional molecular
chaperones, these specialised type III chaperon do not assist in
protein folding and are not energised by ATP. Controversy still
surrounds their primary role; as bodyguards to prevent premature
aggregation or as pilots to direct substrate secretion through the
correct T3SS. Moreover, some chaperones display a bewildering
propensity to interact with several additional T3S-associated
proteins - the relevance of which remains uncertain. Structural
data has now appeared for several important type III chaperones,
either alone or in complex with their cognate substrate.
