Table 2.

Known functions and molecular targets of YopH sorted by Yersinia species, host cell types and stimuli. Unless stated otherwise, all listed targets are negatively regulated by YopH. Ag = antigen, DC = dendritic cell, hum. = human, mur = murine, ROS = reactive oxygen species, TCR = T-cell receptor.
