Consistent with the data in Fig. 2A,B, infection with ∆U∆T/ExoS (G+A−) led to increased levels of Bax and the three isoforms of Bim (BimL, BimEL, and BimS, which can all induce apoptosis45,46), in the mitochondrial fraction of infected HeLa cells (Fig. 2C). This evidence concerns the gene BCL2L11 and infection.
