The presence of invasion-inhibitory activity that is regulated by
the transcriptional activator ExsA of cytotoxic Pseudomonas aeruginosa has previously been proposed. The results of this
study show that both ExoT and ExoS, known type III secreted effector proteins of P. aeruginosa that are regulated by ExsA,
possess this activity. Invasion was reduced 94.4% by ExoT and 96.0%
by ExoS. Invasion-inhibitory activity is not linked to ADP-ribosylation activity, at least for ExoS, since a noncatalytic mutant also inhibits
uptake by an epithelial cell line (invasion was reduced 96.0% by ExoSE381A).
