Brucella effector protein BspJ inhibits the NF-κB signaling pathway by targeting the Zfp740 promoter region to promote bacterial survival within macrophages

This study systematically elucidates a novel regulatory axis, BspJ-Zfp740-P65/NF-κB, and reveals a new mechanism by which Brucella directly interferes with host transcriptional programs through a nucleus-targeting effector protein to suppress inflammation and establish persistent infection.
