[non-LEE-encoded effector E] NleE is found in enteropathogenic and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli. NleE is one of several gene encoding virulence factors. The term refers to the fact that these genes and a large group of other pathogenicity-related genes are not encoded by a pathogenicity island in chromosome known as the LEE [locus of enterocyte effacement] (for overview see also: Dean and Kenny, 2009).
The pathogen inhibits inflammation responses of the host by injecting NleE into host cells. NleE blocks the activation of IKK-beta and consequently the degradation of the NF-kappa-B inhibitor, I-kappa-B, and thus blocks the NF-kappa-B pathway, which regulates the expression of genes associated with
