9, France. Salmonella
enterica causes a variety of diseases, including gastroenteritis and
typhoid fever. The success of this pathogen depends on its capacity to
proliferate within host cells in a membrane-bound compartment. We found
that the Salmonella-containing vacuole recruited the plus-end-directed
motor kinesin. Bacterial effector proteins translocated into the host cell
by a type III secretion system antagonistically regulated this event.
Among these effectors, SifA targeted SKIP, a host protein that
down-regulated the recruitment of kinesin on the bacterial vacuole and, in
turn, controlled vacuolar membrane dynamics. |
