type III secretion chaperone SycN Members of this protein family are part of the machinery of bacterial type III secretion in a number of bacteria that target animal cells. In the well-studied system from Yersinia, a complex of this protein (SycN) and YscB (pfam07329) acts as a chaperone for the export of YopN (). YopN then acts to control effector protein secretion, in response to calcium levels, so that secretion occurs only after contact with the targeted eukaryotic cell.
