Sanchez L, Lensen A, Connor MG, Hamon M, Enninga J, Valenzuela C. Shigella generates distinct IAM subpopulations during epithelial cell invasion to promote efficient intracellular niche formation. Eur J Cell Biol 2024; 103:151381. [PMID: 38183814 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejcb.2023.151381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/24/2023] [Indexed: 01/08/2024] Open
Abstract
The facultative intracellular pathogen Shigella flexneri invades non-phagocytic epithelial gut cells. Through a syringe-like apparatus called type 3 secretion system, it injects effector proteins into the host cell triggering actin rearrangements leading to its uptake within a tight vacuole, termed the bacterial-containing vacuole (BCV). Simultaneously, Shigella induces the formation of large vesicles around the entry site, which we refer to as infection-associated macropinosomes (IAMs). After entry, Shigella ruptures the BCV and escapes into the host cytosol by disassembling the BCV remnants. Previously, IAM formation has been shown to be required for efficient BCV escape, but the molecular events associated with BCV disassembly have remained unclear. To identify host components required for BCV disassembly, we performed a microscopy-based screen to monitor the recruitment of BAR domain-containing proteins, which are a family of host proteins involved in membrane shaping and sensing (e.g. endocytosis and recycling) during Shigella epithelial cell invasion. We identified endosomal recycling BAR protein Sorting Nexin-8 (SNX8) localized to IAMs in a PI(3)P-dependent manner before BCV disassembly. At least two distinct IAM subpopulations around the BCV were found, either being recycled back to cellular compartments such as the plasma membrane or transitioning to become RAB11A positive "contact-IAMs" involved in promoting BCV rupture. The IAM subpopulation duality was marked by the exclusive recruitment of either SNX8 or RAB11A. Hindering PI(3)P production at the IAMs led to an inhibition of SNX8 recruitment at these compartments and delayed both, the step of BCV rupture time and successful BCV disassembly. Finally, siRNA depletion of SNX8 accelerated BCV rupture and unpeeling of BCV remnants, indicating that SNX8 is involved in controlling the timing of the cytosolic release. Overall, our work sheds light on how Shigella establishes its intracellular niche through the subversion of a specific set of IAMs.

Abstract
With the rapid emergence and the dissemination of microbial resistance to conventional chemotherapy, the shortage of novel antimicrobial drugs has raised a global health threat. As molecular interactions between microbial pathogens and their mammalian hosts are crucial to establish virulence, pathogenicity, and infectivity, a detailed understanding of these interactions has the potential to reveal novel therapeutic targets and treatment strategies. Bidirectional molecular communication between microbes and eukaryotes is essential for both pathogenic and commensal organisms to colonise their host. In particular, several devastating pathogens exploit host signalling to adjust the expression of energetically costly virulent behaviours. Chemical proteomics has emerged as a powerful tool to interrogate the protein interaction partners of small molecules and has been successfully applied to advance host-pathogen communication studies. Here, we present recent significant progress made by this approach and provide a perspective for future studies.

Abstract
Shigella spp. are the causative agent of shigellosis (or bacillary dysentery), a diarrhoeal disease characterized for the bacterial invasion of gut epithelial cells. Among the 4 species included in the genus, Shigella flexneri is principally responsible for the disease in the developing world while Shigella sonnei is the main causative agent in high-income countries. Remarkably, as more countries improve their socioeconomic conditions, we observe an increase in the relative prevalence of S. sonnei. To date, the reasons behind this change in aetiology depending on economic growth are not understood. S. flexneri has been widely used as a model to study the pathogenesis of the genus, but as more research data are collected, important discrepancies with S. sonnei have come to light. In comparison to S. flexneri, S. sonnei can be differentiated in numerous aspects; it presents a characteristic O-antigen identical to that of one serogroup of the environmental bacterium Plesiomonas shigelloides, a group 4 capsule, antibacterial mechanisms to outcompete and displace gut commensal bacteria, and a poorer adaptation to an intracellular lifestyle. In addition, the World Health Organization (WHO) have recognized the significant threat posed by antibiotic-resistant strains of S. sonnei, demanding new approaches. This review gathers knowledge on what is known about S. sonnei within the context of other Shigella spp. and aims to open the door for future research on understanding the increasing spread of this pathogen.

Abstract
Drugs that selectively kill senescent cells (senolytics) improve the outcomes of cancer, fibrosis and age-related diseases. Despite their potential, our knowledge of the molecular pathways that affect the survival of senescent cells is limited. To discover senolytic targets, we performed RNAi screens and identified coatomer complex I (COPI) vesicle formation as a liability of senescent cells. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of COPI results in Golgi dispersal, dysfunctional autophagy, and unfolded protein response-dependent apoptosis of senescent cells, and knockdown of COPI subunits improves the outcomes of cancer and fibrosis in mouse models. Drugs targeting COPI have poor pharmacological properties, but we find that N-myristoyltransferase inhibitors (NMTi) phenocopy COPI inhibition and are potent senolytics. NMTi selectively eliminated senescent cells and improved outcomes in models of cancer and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Our results suggest that senescent cells rely on a hyperactive secretory apparatus and that inhibiting trafficking kills senescent cells with the potential to treat various senescence-associated diseases.

Abstract
Bacteria have evolved a diverse set of enzymes that enable them to subvert host defense mechanisms as well as to form part of the prokaryotic immune system. Due to their unique and varied biochemical activities, these bacterial enzymes have emerged as key tools for understanding and investigating biological systems. In this review, we summarize and discuss some of the most prominent bacterial enzymes used for the site-specific modification of proteins, in vivo protein labeling, proximity labeling, interactome mapping, signaling pathway manipulation, and therapeutic discovery. Finally, we provide a perspective on the complementary advantages and limitations of using bacterial enzymes compared with chemical probes for exploring biological systems.

Abstract
The pathogenic bacteria Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis cause pertussis (whooping cough) and pertussis-like disease, respectively, both of which are characterized by paroxysmal coughing. We previously reported that pertussis toxin (PTx), which inactivates heterotrimeric GTPases of the Gi family through ADP-ribosylation of their α subunits, causes coughing in combination with Vag8 and lipid A in B. pertussis infection. In contrast, the mechanism of cough induced by B. parapertussis, which produces Vag8 and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) containing lipid A, but not PTx, remained to be elucidated. Here, we show that a toxin we named deacylating autotransporter toxin (DAT) of B. parapertussis inactivates heterotrimeric Gi GTPases through demyristoylation of their α subunits and contributes to cough production along with Vag8 and LPS. These results indicate that DAT plays a role in B. parapertussis infection in place of PTx.

Abstract
Protein-lipid conjugation is a widespread modification involved in many biological processes. Various lipids, including fatty acids, isoprenoids, sterols, glycosylphosphatidylinositol, sphingolipids, and phospholipids, are covalently linked with proteins. These modifications direct proteins to intracellular membranes through the hydrophobic nature of lipids. Some of these membrane-binding processes are reversible through delipidation or by reducing the affinity to membranes. Many signaling molecules undergo lipid modification, and their membrane binding is important for proper signal transduction. The conjugation of proteins to lipids also influences the dynamics and function of organellar membranes. Dysregulation of lipidation has been associated with diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, we first provide an overview of diverse forms of protein-lipid conjugation and then summarize the catalytic mechanisms, regulation, and roles of these modifications.Key words: lipid, lipidation, membrane, organelle, protein modification.

Abstract
Superoxide anion (O2•-) is an important reactive oxygen species (ROS) and participates in various physiological and pathological processes in the organism. The O2•- burst induced by ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is associated with cardiovascular disease and promotes the cell apoptosis. In this work, a turn-on type Golgi-targeting fluorescent probe Gol-Cou-O2•- was rationally designed for sensitive and selective detection of O2•-. The minimum detection limit concentration for O2•- was about 3.9 × 10-7 M in aqueous solution. Gol-Cou-O2•- showed excellent capacity of detecting exogenous and endogenous O2•- in living cells and zebrafish, and was also used to capture the up-regulated O2•- level during the duration of I/R process in cardiomyocytes. Golgi Phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3) is a potential Golgi stress marker protein and plays a key role in cells apoptosis during I/R. The fluorescence imaging and flow cytometry assay results indicated that silencing GOLPH3 through siRNA could give rise to the down-regulated O2•- level and alleviation of apoptosis in I/R myocardial cells. Thus, development of Gol-Cou-O2•- provides a diagnostic tool for myocardial oxidative stress injury and distinct insights on roles of GOLPH3 in myocardial I/R injury.

Abstract
The major function of the mammalian immune system is to prevent and control infections caused by enteropathogens that collectively have altered human destiny. In fact, as the gastrointestinal tissues are the major interface of mammals with the environment, up to 70% of the human immune system is dedicated to patrolling them The defenses are multi-tiered and include the endogenous microflora that mediate colonization resistance as well as physical barriers intended to compartmentalize infections. The gastrointestinal tract and associated lymphoid tissue are also protected by sophisticated interleaved arrays of active innate and adaptive immune defenses. Remarkably, some bacterial enteropathogens have acquired an arsenal of virulence factors with which they neutralize all these formidable barriers to infection, causing disease ranging from mild self-limiting gastroenteritis to in some cases devastating human disease.

The Salmonella T3SS1 effector IpaJ is regulated by ItrA and inhibits the MAPK signaling pathway. PLoS Pathog 2022; 18:e1011005.

Abstract
Invasion plasmid antigen J (IpaJ) is a protein with cysteine protease activity that is present in Salmonella and Shigella species. Salmonella enterica serovar Pullorum uses IpaJ to inhibit the NF-κB pathway and the subsequent inflammatory response, resulting in bacterial survival in host macrophages. In the present study, we performed a DNA pull-down assay and EMSA and identified ItrA, a new DeoR family transcriptional regulator that could control the expression of IpaJ by directly binding to the promoter of ipaJ. The deletion of itrA inhibited the transcription of ipaJ in Salmonella. Tn-Seq revealed that two regulators of Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI-1), namely HilA and HilD, regulated the secretion of IpaJ. The deletion of hilA, hilD or SPI-1 inhibited the secretion of IpaJ in both cultured medium and Salmonella-infected cells. In contrast, the strain with the deletion of ssrB (an SPI-2 regulator-encoding gene) displayed normal IpaJ secretion, indicating that IpaJ is an effector of the SPI-1-encoded type III secretion system (T3SS1). To further demonstrate the role of IpaJ in host cells, we performed quantitative phosphoproteomics and compared the fold changes in signaling molecules in HeLa cells infected with wild-type S. Pullorum C79-13 with those in HeLa cells infected with the ipaJ-deleted strain C79-13ΔpSPI12. Both phosphoproteomics and Western blot analyses revealed that p-MEK and p-ERK molecules were increased in C79-13ΔpSPI12- and C79-13ΔpSPI12-pipaJ(C45A)-infected cells; and Co-IP assays demonstrated that IpaJ interacts with Ras to reduce its ubiquitination, indicating that IpaJ can inhibit the activation of the MAPK signaling pathway.

Structural and large-scale analysis unveil the intertwined paths promoting NMT-catalyzed lysine and glycine myristoylation. J Mol Biol 2022; 434:167843.

Abstract
N-myristoyltransferases (NMTs) catalyze protein myristoylation, a lipid modification crucial for cell survival and a range of pathophysiological processes. Originally thought to modify only N-terminal glycine α-amino groups (G-myristoylation), NMTs were recently shown to also modify lysine ε-amino groups (K-myristoylation). However, the clues ruling NMT-dependent K-myristoylation and the full range of targets are currently unknown. Here we combine mass spectrometry, kinetic studies, in silico analysis, and crystallography to identify the specific features driving each modification. We show that direct interactions between the substrate's reactive amino group and the NMT catalytic base promote K-myristoylation but with poor efficiency compared to G-myristoylation, which instead uses a water-mediated interaction. We provide evidence of depletion of proteins with NMT-dependent K-myristoylation motifs in humans, suggesting evolutionary pressure to prevent this modification in favor of G-myristoylation. In turn, we reveal that K-myristoylation may only result from post-translational events. Our studies finally unravel the respective paths towards K-myristoylation or G-myristoylation, which rely on a very subtle tradeoff embracing the chemical landscape around the reactive group.

Abstract
Enzymes from pathogens often modulate host protein post-translational modifications (PTMs), facilitating survival and proliferation of pathogens. Shigella virulence factors IpaJ and IcsB induce proteolytic cleavage and lysine fatty acylation on host proteins, which cause Golgi stress and suppress innate immunity, respectively. However, it is unknown whether host enzymes could reverse such modifications introduced by pathogens' virulence factors to suppress pathogenesis. Herein, we report that SIRT2, a potent lysine defatty-acylase, is upregulated by the transcription factor CREB3 under Golgi stress induced by Shigella infection. SIRT2 in turn removes the lysine fatty acylation introduced by Shigella virulence factor IcsB to enhance host innate immunity. SIRT2 knockout mice are more susceptible to Shigella infection than wildtype mice, demonstrating the importance of SIRT2 to counteract Shigella infection.

Abstract
The type III secretion system is required for virulence of many pathogenic bacteria. Bacterial effector proteins delivered into target host cells by this system modulate host signaling pathways and processes in a manner that promotes infection. Here, we define the activity of the effector protein OspB of the human pathogen Shigella spp., the etiological agent of shigellosis and bacillary dysentery. Using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model organism, we show that OspB sensitizes cells to inhibition of TORC1, the central regulator of growth and metabolism. In silico analyses reveal that OspB bears structural homology to bacterial cysteine proteases that target mammalian cell processes, and we define a conserved cysteine-histidine catalytic dyad required for OspB function. Using yeast genetic screens, we identify a crucial role for the arginine N-degron pathway in the yeast growth inhibition phenotype and show that inositol hexakisphosphate is an OspB cofactor. We find that a yeast substrate for OspB is the TORC1 component Tco89p, proteolytic cleavage of which generates a C-terminal fragment that is targeted for degradation via the arginine N-degron pathway; processing and degradation of Tco89p is required for the OspB phenotype. In all, we demonstrate that the Shigella T3SS effector OspB is a cysteine protease and decipher its interplay with eukaryotic cell processes. IMPORTANCEShigella spp. are important human pathogens and among the leading causes of diarrheal mortality worldwide, especially in children. Virulence depends on the Shigella type III secretion system (T3SS). Definition of the roles of the bacterial effector proteins secreted by the T3SS is key to understanding Shigella pathogenesis. The effector protein OspB contributes to a range of phenotypes during infection, yet the mechanism of action is unknown. Here, we show that S. flexneri OspB possesses cysteine protease activity in both yeast and mammalian cells, and that enzymatic activity of OspB depends on a conserved cysteine-histidine catalytic dyad. We determine how its protease activity sensitizes cells to TORC1 inhibition in yeast, finding that OspB cleaves a component of yeast TORC1, and that the degradation of the C-terminal cleavage product is responsible for OspB-mediated hypersensitivity to TORC1 inhibitors. Thus, OspB is a cysteine protease that depends on a conserved cysteine-histidine catalytic dyad.

Abstract
Different gastrointestinal pathogens cause diarrhea which is a very common problem in children aged under 5 years. Among bacterial pathogens, Shigella is one of the main causes of diarrhea among children, and it accounts for approximately 11% of all deaths among children aged under 5 years. The case-fatality rates for Shigella among the infants and children aged 1 to 4 years are 13.9% and 9.4%, respectively. Shigella uses unique effector proteins to modulate intracellular pathways. Shigella cannot invade epithelial cells on the apical site; therefore, it needs to pass epithelium through other cells rather than the epithelial cell. After passing epithelium, macrophage swallows Shigella, and the latter should prepare itself to exhibit at least two types of responses: (I) escaping phagocyte and (II) mediating invasion of and injury to the recurrent PMN. The presence of PMN and invitation to a greater degree resulted in gut membrane injuries and greater bacterial penetration. Infiltration of Shigella to the basolateral space mediates (A) cell attachment, (B) cell entry, (C) evasion of autophagy recognition, (D) vacuole formation and and vacuole rapture, (E) intracellular life, (F) Shiga toxin, and (G) immune response. In this review, an attempt is made to explain the role of each factor in Shigella infection.

Abstract
Approximately 2.8 million people worldwide are infected with bacteria that are deemed resistant to clinically relevant antibiotics. This accounts for 700,000 deaths every year and represents a major public health threat that has been on the rise for the past two decades. In contrast, the pace of antibiotic discovery to treat these resistant pathogens has significantly decreased. Most antibiotics are complex natural products that were isolated from soil microorganisms during the golden era of antibiotic discovery (1940s to 1960s) employing the “Waksman platform”. After the collapse of this discovery platform, other strategies and approaches emerged, including phenotype- or target-based screenings of large synthetic compound libraries. However, these methods have not resulted in the discovery and/or development of new drugs for clinical use in over 30 years. A better understanding of the structure and function of the molecular components that constitute the bacterial system is of paramount importance to design new strategies to tackle drug-resistant pathogens. Herein, we review the traditional approaches as well as novel strategies to facilitate antibiotic discovery that are chemical biology-focused. These include the design and application of chemical probes that can undergo bioorthogonal reactions, such as copper (I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloadditions (CuAAC). By specifically interacting with bacterial proteins or being incorporated in the microorganism’s metabolism, chemical probes are powerful tools in drug discovery that can help uncover new drug targets and investigate the mechanisms of action and resistance of new antibacterial leads.

Abstract
Myristoylation is a type of lipidation with important functions. Owing to the lack of high-quality antibodies against myristoylation, developing alternative methods for profiling myristoylated proteins is important. Here, we provide a protocol for metabolic labeling using click chemistry to profile myristoylated proteins in C. elegans. Our approach improves the signal/noise ratio by covalently linking the myristoylated proteins to the beads. This protocol provides a highly specific and reproducible way for enriching myristoylated proteins, which could be modified to analyze other types of lipidations. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Tang et al. (2021).

Abstract
Protein myristoylation is a C14 fatty acid modification found in all living organisms. Myristoylation tags either the N-terminal alpha groups of cysteine or glycine residues through amide bonds or lysine and cysteine side chains directly or indirectly via glycerol thioester and ester linkages. Before transfer to proteins, myristate must be activated into myristoyl coenzyme A in eukaryotes or, in bacteria, to derivatives like phosphatidylethanolamine. Myristate originates through de novo biosynthesis (e.g., plants), from external uptake (e.g., human tissues), or from mixed origins (e.g., unicellular organisms). Myristate usually serves as a molecular anchor, allowing tagged proteins to be targeted to membranes and travel across endomembrane networks in eukaryotes. In this review, we describe and discuss the metabolic origins of protein-bound myristate. We review strategies for in vivo protein labeling that take advantage of click-chemistry with reactive analogs, and we discuss new approaches to the proteome-wide discovery of myristate-containing proteins. The machineries of myristoylation are described, along with how protein targets can be generated directly from translating precursors or from processed proteins. Few myristoylation catalysts are currently described, with only N-myristoyltransferase described to date in eukaryotes. Finally, we describe how viruses and bacteria hijack and exploit myristoylation for their pathogenicity.

Abstract
Bacterial cells present a wide diversity of saccharides that decorate the cell surface and help mediate interactions with the environment. Many Gram-negative cells express O-antigens, which are long sugar polymers that makeup the distal portion of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) that constitutes the surface of the outer membrane. This review highlights chemical biology tools that have been developed in recent years to facilitate the modulation of O-antigen synthesis and composition, as well as related bacterial polysaccharide pathways, and the detection of unique glycan sequences. Advances in the biochemistry and structural biology of O-antigen biosynthetic machinery are also described, which provide guidance for the design of novel chemical and biomolecular probes. Many of the tools noted here have not yet been utilized in biological systems and offer researchers the opportunity to investigate the complex sugar architecture of Gram-negative cells.

Abstract
Proteases are powerful enzymes, which cleave peptide bonds, leading most of the time to irreversible fragmentation or degradation of their substrates. Therefore they control many critical cell fate decisions in eukaryotes. Bacterial pathogens exploit this power and deliver protease effectors through specialised secretion systems into host cells. Research over the past years revealed that the functions of protease effectors during infection are diverse, reflecting the lifestyles and adaptations to specific hosts; however, only a small number of peptidase families seem to have given rise to most of these protease virulence factors by the evolution of different substrate-binding specificities, intracellular activation and subcellular targeting mechanisms. Here, we review our current knowledge about the enzymology and function of protease effectors, which Gram-negative bacterial pathogens translocate via type III and IV secretion systems to irreversibly manipulate host processes. We highlight emerging concepts such as signalling by protease cleavage products and effector-triggered immunity, which host cells employ to detect and defend themselves against a protease attack. TAKE AWAY: Proteases irreversibly cleave proteins to control critical cell fate decisions. Gram-negative bacteria use type III and IV secretion systems to inject effectors. Protease effectors are integral weapons for the manipulation of host processes. Effectors evolved from few peptidase families to target diverse substrates. Effector-triggered immunity upon proteolytic attack emerges as host defence.

Demyristoylation of the Cytoplasmic Redox Protein Trx-h2 Is Critical for Inducing a Rapid Cold Stress Response in Plants. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10081287. [PMID: 34439534 PMCID: PMC8389195 DOI: 10.3390/antiox10081287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2021] [Revised: 08/09/2021] [Accepted: 08/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
In Arabidopsis, the cytosolic redox protein thioredoxin h2 (Trx-h2) is anchored to the cytoplasmic endomembrane through the myristoylated second glycine residue (Gly2). However, under cold stress, the cytosolic Trx-h2 is rapidly translocated to the nucleus, where it interacts with and reduces the cold-responsive C-repeat-binding factors (CBFs), thus activating cold-responsive (COR) genes. In this study, we investigated the significance of fatty acid modification of Trx-h2 under cold conditions by generating transgenic Arabidopsis lines in the trx-h2 mutant background, overexpressing Trx-h2 (Trx-h2OE/trx-h2) and its point mutation variant Trx-h2(G/A) [Trx-h2(G/A)OE/trx-h2], in which the Gly2 was replaced by alanine (Ala). Due to the lack of Gly2, Trx-h2(G/A) was incapable of myristoylation, and a part of Trx-h2(G/A) localized to the nucleus even under warm temperature. As no time is spent on the demyristoylation and subsequent nuclear translocation of Trx-h2(G/A) under a cold snap, the ability of Trx-h2(G/A) to protect plants from cold stress was greater than that of Trx-h2. Additionally, COR genes were up-regulated earlier in Trx-h2(G/A)2OE/trx-h2 plants than in Trx-h2OE/trx-h2 plants under cold stress. Consequently, Trx-h2(G/A)2OE/trx-h2 plants showed greater cold tolerance than Col-0 (wild type) and Trx-h2OE/trx-h2 plants. Overall, our results clearly demonstrate the significance of the demyristoylation of Trx-h2 in enhancing plant cold/freezing tolerance.

Abstract
Protein N-myristoylation is an important fatty acylation catalyzed by N-myristoyltransferases (NMTs), which are ubiquitous enzymes in eukaryotes. Specifically, attachment of a myristoyl group is vital for proteins participating in various biological functions, including signal transduction, cellular localization, and oncogenesis. Recent studies have revealed unexpected mechanisms indicating that protein N-myristoylation is involved in host defense against microbial and viral infections. In this review, we describe the current understanding of protein N-myristoylation (mainly focusing on myristoyl switches) and summarize its crucial roles in regulating innate immune responses, including TLR4-dependent inflammatory responses and demyristoylation-induced innate immunosuppression during Shigella flexneri infection. Furthermore, we examine the role of myristoylation in viral assembly, intracellular host interactions, and viral spread during human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection. Deeper insight into the relationship between protein N-myristoylation and innate immunity might enable us to clarify the pathogenesis of certain infectious diseases and better harness protein N-myristoylation for new therapeutics.

Abstract
In the last several years, there has been a tremendous progress in the understanding of host-pathogen interactions and the mechanisms by which bacterial pathogens modulate behavior of the host cell. Pathogens use secretion systems to inject a set of proteins, called effectors, into the cytosol of the host cell. These effectors are secreted in a highly regulated, temporal manner and interact with host proteins to modify a multitude of cellular processes. The number of effectors varies between pathogens from ~ 30 to as many as ~ 350. The functional redundancy of effectors encoded by each pathogen makes it difficult to determine the cellular effects or function of individual effectors, since their individual knockouts frequently produce no easily detectable phenotypes. Structural biology of effector proteins and their interactions with host proteins, in conjunction with cell biology approaches, has provided invaluable information about the cellular function of effectors and underlying molecular mechanisms of their modes of action. Many bacterial effectors are functionally equivalent to host proteins while being structurally divergent from them. Other effector proteins display new, previously unobserved functionalities. Here, we summarize the contribution of the structural characterization of effectors and effector-host protein complexes to our understanding of host subversion mechanisms used by the most commonly investigated Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. We describe in some detail the enzymatic activities discovered among effector proteins and how they affect various cellular processes.

Abstract
Lipids are indispensable cellular building blocks, and their post-translational attachment to proteins makes them important regulators of many biological processes. Dysfunction of protein lipidation is also implicated in many pathological states, yet its systematic analysis presents significant challenges. Thanks to innovations in chemical proteomics, lipidation can now be readily studied by metabolic tagging using functionalized lipid analogs, enabling global profiling of lipidated substrates using mass spectrometry. This has spearheaded the first deconvolution of their full scope in a range of contexts, from cells to pathogens and multicellular organisms. Protein N-myristoylation, S-acylation, and S-prenylation are the most well-studied lipid post-translational modifications because of their extensive contribution to the regulation of diverse cellular processes. In this review, we focus on recent advances in the study of these post-translational modifications, with an emphasis on how novel mass spectrometry methods have elucidated their roles in fundamental biological processes.

Abstract
Pathogenic Vibrio species use many different approaches to subvert, attack, and undermine the host response. The toxins they produce are often responsible for the devastating effects associated with their diseases. These toxins target a variety of host proteins, which leads to deleterious effects, including dissolution of cell organelle integrity and inhibition of protein secretion. Becoming increasingly prevalent as cofactors for Vibrio toxins are proteins of the small GTPase families. ADP-ribosylation factor small GTPases (ARFs) in particular are emerging as a common host cofactor necessary for full activation of Vibrio toxins. While ARFs are not the direct target of Vibrio cholerae cholera toxin (CT), ARF binding is required for its optimal activity as an ADP-ribosyltransferase. The makes caterpillars floppy (MCF)-like and the domain X (DmX) effectors of the Vibrio vulnificus multifunctional autoprocessing repeats-in-toxin (MARTX) toxin also both require ARFs to initiate autoprocessing and activation as independent effectors. ARFs are ubiquitously expressed in eukaryotes and are key regulators of many cellular processes, and as such they are ideal cofactors for Vibrio pathogens that infect many host species. In this review, we cover in detail the known Vibrio toxins that use ARFs as cross-kingdom activators to both stimulate and optimize their activity. We further discuss how these contrast to toxins and effectors from other bacterial species that coactivate, stimulate, or directly modify host ARFs as their mechanisms of action.

Metabolic reprogramming of macrophages during immune activation can generate diversified types of small molecule metabolites, which in turn induce post-translational modifications (PTMs) on proteins. Understanding the functional implications of these modifications requires precise identification of them from complex biological samples.

Abstract
Protein lipidation, the covalent attachment of a lipid moiety to a target protein, plays a critical role in many cellular processes in eukaryotic cells. Bacterial pathogens secrete various effectors to subvert the host signaling pathway as a mechanism of microbial pathogenesis. An increasing number of effectors from diverse bacterial pathogens function as cysteine proteases to cause irreversible delipidation of host lipidated proteins. This in turn results in disruption of crucial lipidation-mediated host signal transduction, thereby enabling pathogen survival and replication. In this review, we discuss the role of the bacterial effectors in interactions with the host and highlight our knowledge of irreversible host delipidation, with a focus on the common concerted biochemical mechanisms of the bacterial effectors.

Abstract
The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is crucial in interbacterial competition and is a virulence determinant of many Gram-negative bacteria. Several T6SS effectors are covalently fused to secreted T6SS structural components such as the VgrG spike for delivery into target cells. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the VgrG2b effector was previously proposed to mediate bacterial internalization into eukaryotic cells. In this work, we find that the VgrG2b C-terminal domain (VgrG2bC-ter) elicits toxicity in the bacterial periplasm, counteracted by a cognate immunity protein. We resolve the structure of VgrG2bC-ter and confirm it is a member of the zinc-metallopeptidase family of enzymes. We show that this effector causes membrane blebbing at midcell, which suggests a distinct type of T6SS-mediated growth inhibition through interference with cell division, mimicking the impact of β-lactam antibiotics. Our study introduces a further effector family to the T6SS arsenal and demonstrates that VgrG2b can target both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The structure of the VgrG2b C-terminal domain presents a metallopeptidase fold VgrG2b exerts antibacterial activity in the periplasmic space Toxicity of VgrG2b is counteracted by a cognate periplasmic immunity protein VgrG2bC-ter-intoxicated prey cells bleb at the midcell and lyse

Abstract
Enteric pathogens rely on a variety of toxins, adhesins and other virulence factors to cause infections. Some of the best studied pathogens belong to the Enterobacterales order; these include enteropathogenic and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli, Shigella spp., and the enteropathogenic Yersiniae. The pathogenesis of these organisms involves two different secretion systems, a type 3 secretion system (T3SS) and type 5 secretion systems (T5SSs). The T3SS forms a syringe-like structure spanning both bacterial membranes and the host cell plasma membrane that translocates toxic effector proteins into the cytoplasm of the host cell. T5SSs are also known as autotransporters, and they export part of their own polypeptide to the bacterial cell surface where it exerts its function, such as adhesion to host cell receptors. During infection with these enteropathogens, the T3SS and T5SS act in concert to bring about rearrangements of the host cell cytoskeleton, either to invade the cell, confer intracellular motility, evade phagocytosis or produce novel structures to shelter the bacteria. Thus, in these bacteria, not only the T3SS effectors but also T5SS proteins could be considered "cytoskeletoxins" that bring about profound alterations in host cell cytoskeletal dynamics and lead to pathogenic outcomes.

Abstract
N-myristoylation (MYR) is a crucial fatty acylation catalyzed by N-myristoyltransferases (NMTs) that is likely to have appeared over 2 billion years ago. Proteome-wide approaches have now delivered an exhaustive list of substrates undergoing MYR across approximately 2% of any proteome, with constituents, several unexpected, associated with different membrane compartments. A set of <10 proteins conserved in eukaryotes probably represents the original set of N-myristoylated targets, marking major changes occurring throughout eukaryogenesis. Recent findings have revealed unexpected mechanisms and reactivity, suggesting competition with other acylations that are likely to influence cellular homeostasis and the steady state of the modification landscape. Here, we review recent advances in NMT catalysis, substrate specificity, and MYR proteomics, and discuss concepts regarding MYR during evolution.

Abstract
Glycine N-myristoylation is an essential acylation modification modulating the functions, stability, and membrane association of diverse cytosolic proteins in human cells. Myristoyl-CoA is the 14-carbon acyl donor of the acyltransferase reaction. Acyl-CoAs of a chain length compatible with the binding site of the N-myristoyltransferase enzymes (NMT) are competitive inhibitors, and the mechanism protecting these enzymes from unwanted acyl-CoA species requires the acyl-CoA binding protein ACBD6. The acyl-CoA binding domain (ACB) and the ankyrin-repeat motifs (ANK) of ACBD6 can perform their functions independently. Interaction of ANK with human NMT2 was necessary and sufficient to provide protection. Fusion of the ANK module to the acyl-CoA binding protein ACBD1 was sufficient to confer the NMT-stimulatory property of ACBD6 to the chimera. The ACB domain is dispensable and sequestration of the competitor was not the basis for NMT2 protection. Acyl-CoAs bound to ACB modulate the function of the ANK module and act as positive effector of the allosteric activation of the enzyme. The functional relevance of homozygous mutations in ACBD6 gene, which have not been associated with a disease so far, is presented. Skin-derived fibroblasts of two unrelated individuals with neurodevelopmental disorder and carrying loss of function mutations in the ACBD6 gene were deficient in protein N-myristoylation. These cells were sensitive to substrate analog competing for myristoyl-CoA binding to NMT. These findings account for the requirement of an ANK-containing acyl-CoA binding protein in the cellular mechanism protecting the NMT enzymes and establish that in human cells, ACBD6 supports the N-myristoylation of proteins.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovar Pullorum is the pathogen of pullorum disease, which leads to severe economic losses in many developing countries. In contrast to the strong inflammatory response induced by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis, S Pullorum causes systemic infection with little inflammation. The effector proteins secreted by Salmonella often play a crucial role in modulating host signal transduction and cellular processes to the pathogen's advantage. In the present study, the invasion plasmid antigen J (IpaJ) protein specifically identified in S Pullorum was found to significantly inhibit activation of the key proinflammatory transcription factor, NF-κB, which was induced by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). IpaJ inhibited the NF-κB pathway in cells infected with S Pullorum through the stabilization of IκBα. Deletion of ipaJ in S Pullorum caused a significantly increased level of ubiquitinated IκBα that was subsequently degraded by the proteasome in HeLa cells. Moreover, IpaJ was efficient in the prevention of NF-κB translocation to the nucleus and ultimately interfered with the secretion of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 in infected HeLa cells. Additionally, the transformation of ipaJ into S Enteritidis decreased the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines in HeLa cells through suppression of the NF-κB pathway. The infection of chicken peripheral blood monocyte-derived macrophages (chMDM) confirmed that ipaJ-deleted S Pullorum induced a stronger expression of proinflammatory cytokines than the wild-type and complementary strains. In summary, the present study revealed that IpaJ functions as an important anti-inflammatory protein involved in S Pullorum infection through inhibition of the NF-κB pathway and the subsequent inflammatory response.

Abstract
Understanding the molecular mechanisms of endogenous and environmental metabolites is crucial for basic biology and drug discovery. With the genome, proteome, and metabolome of many organisms being readily available, researchers now have the opportunity to dissect how key metabolites regulate complex cellular pathways in vivo. Nonetheless, characterizing the specific and functional protein targets of key metabolites associated with specific cellular phenotypes remains a major challenge. Innovations in chemical biology are now poised to address this fundamental limitation in physiology and disease. In this review, we highlight recent advances in chemoproteomics for targeted and proteome-wide analysis of metabolite-protein interactions that have enabled the discovery of unpredicted metabolite-protein interactions and facilitated the development of new small molecule therapeutics.

Abstract
The coat protein complex I (COPI) is an essential, highly conserved pathway that traffics proteins and lipids between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Golgi. Many aspects of the COPI machinery are well understood at the structural, biochemical and genetic levels. However, we know much less about how cells dynamically modulate COPI trafficking in response to changing signals, metabolic state, stress or other stimuli. Recently, post-translational modifications (PTMs) have emerged as one common theme in the regulation of the COPI pathway. Here, we review a range of modifications and mechanisms that govern COPI activity in interphase cells and suggest potential future directions to address as-yet unanswered questions.

Abstract
Intracellular trafficking pathways in eukaryotic cells are essential to maintain organelle identity and structure, and to regulate cell communication with its environment. Shigella flexneri invades and subverts the human colonic epithelium by the injection of virulence factors through a type 3 secretion system (T3SS). In this work, we report the multiple effects of two S. flexneri effectors, IpaJ and VirA, which target small GTPases of the Arf and Rab families, consequently inhibiting several intracellular trafficking pathways. IpaJ and VirA induce large-scale impairment of host protein secretion and block the recycling of surface receptors. Moreover, these two effectors decrease clathrin-dependent and -independent endocytosis. Therefore, S. flexneri infection induces a global blockage of host cell intracellular transport, affecting the exchange between cells and their external environment. The combined action of these effectors disorganizes the epithelial cell polarity, disturbs epithelial barrier integrity, promotes multiple invasion events, and enhances the pathogen capacity to penetrate into the colonic tissue in vivo.

Abstract
Hormone- and stress-induced shuttling of signaling or regulatory proteins is an important cellular mechanism to modulate hormone signaling and cope with abiotic stress. Hormone-induced ubiquitination plays a crucial role to determine the half-life of key negative regulators of hormone signaling. For ABA signaling, the degradation of clade-A PP2Cs, such as PP2CA or ABI1, is a complementary mechanism to PYR/PYL/RCAR-mediated inhibition of PP2C activity. ABA promotes the degradation of PP2CA through the RGLG1 E3 ligase, although it is not known how ABA enhances the interaction of RGLG1 with PP2CA given that they are predominantly found in the plasma membrane and the nucleus, respectively. We demonstrate that ABA modifies the subcellular localization of RGLG1 and promotes nuclear interaction with PP2CA. We found RGLG1 is myristoylated in vivo, which facilitates its attachment to the plasma membrane. ABA inhibits the myristoylation of RGLG1 through the downregulation of N-myristoyltransferase 1 (NMT1) and promotes nuclear translocation of RGLG1 in a cycloheximide-insensitive manner. Enhanced nuclear recruitment of the E3 ligase was also promoted by increasing PP2CA protein levels and the formation of RGLG1-receptor-phosphatase complexes. We show that RGLG1Gly2Ala mutated at the N-terminal myristoylation site shows constitutive nuclear localization and causes an enhanced response to ABA and salt or osmotic stress. RGLG1/5 can interact with certain monomeric ABA receptors, which facilitates the formation of nuclear complexes such as RGLG1-PP2CA-PYL8. In summary, we provide evidence that an E3 ligase can dynamically relocalize in response to both ABA and increased levels of its target, which reveals a mechanism to explain how ABA enhances RGLG1-PP2CA interaction and hence PP2CA degradation.

Abstract
Protein S-palmitoylation is a reversible post-translational modification that alters the localization, stability, and function of hundreds of proteins in the cell. S-palmitoylation is essential for the function of both oncogenes (e.g., NRAS and EGFR) and tumor suppressors (e.g., SCRIB, melanocortin 1 receptor). In mammalian cells, the thioesterification of palmitate to internal cysteine residues is catalyzed by 23 Asp-His-His-Cys (DHHC)-family palmitoyl S-acyltransferases while the removal of palmitate is catalyzed by serine hydrolases, including acyl-protein thioesterases (APTs). These enzymes modulate the function of important oncogenes and tumor suppressors and often display altered expression patterns in cancer. Targeting S-palmitoylation or the enzymes responsible for palmitoylation dynamics may therefore represent a candidate therapeutic strategy for certain cancers.

Abstract
An organism's entire protein modification repertoire has yet to be comprehensively mapped. N-myristoylation (MYR) is a crucial eukaryotic N-terminal protein modification. Here we mapped complete Homo sapiens and Arabidopsis thaliana myristoylomes. The crystal structures of human modifier NMT1 complexed with reactive and nonreactive target-mimicking peptide ligands revealed unexpected binding clefts and a modifier recognition pattern. This information allowed integrated mapping of myristoylomes using peptide macroarrays, dedicated prediction algorithms, and in vivo mass spectrometry. Global MYR profiling at the genomic scale identified over a thousand novel, heterogeneous targets in both organisms. Surprisingly, MYR involved a non-negligible set of overlapping targets with N-acetylation, and the sequence signature marks for a third proximal acylation-S-palmitoylation-were genomically imprinted, allowing recognition of sequences exhibiting both acylations. Together, the data extend the N-end rule concept for Gly-starting proteins to subcellular compartmentalization and reveal the main neighbors influencing protein modification profiles and consequent cell fate.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovar Gallinarum biovar Pullorum (S. Pullorum) is the pathogen of pullorum disease, which leads to severe economic losses in many developing countries. Traditional methods to identify S. enterica have relied on biochemical reactions and serotyping, which are time-consuming with accurate identification if properly carried out. In this study, we developed a rapid polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method targeting the specific gene ipaJ to detect S. Pullorum. Among the 650 S. Pullorum strains isolated from 1962 to 2016 all over China, 644 strains were identified to harbour ipaJ gene in the plasmid pSPI12, accounting for a detection rate of 99.08%. Six strains were ipaJ negative because pSPI12 was not found in these strains according to whole genome sequencing results. There was no cross-reaction with other Salmonella serotypes, including Salmonella enterica serovar Gallinarum biovar Gallinarum (S. Gallinarum), which show a close genetic relationship with S. Pullorum. This shows that the PCR method could distinguish S. Gallinarum from S. Pullorum in one-step PCR without complicated biochemical identification. The limit of detection of this PCR method was as low as 90 fg/μl or 102 CFU, which shows a high sensitivity. Moreover, this method was applied to identify Salmonella isolated from the chicken farm and the results were consistent with what we obtained from biochemical reactions and serotyping. Together, all the results demonstrated that this one-step PCR method is simple and feasible to efficiently identify S. Pullorum.

Abstract
S-palmitoylation is a reversible, enzymatic posttranslational modification of proteins in which palmitoyl chain is attached to a cysteine residue via a thioester linkage. S-palmitoylation determines the functioning of proteins by affecting their association with membranes, compartmentalization in membrane domains, trafficking, and stability. In this review, we focus on S-palmitoylation of proteins, which are crucial for the interactions of pathogenic bacteria and viruses with the host. We discuss the role of palmitoylated proteins in the invasion of host cells by bacteria and viruses, and those involved in the host responses to the infection. We highlight recent data on protein S-palmitoylation in pathogens and their hosts obtained owing to the development of methods based on click chemistry and acyl-biotin exchange allowing proteomic analysis of protein lipidation. The role of the palmitoyl moiety present in bacterial lipopolysaccharide and lipoproteins, contributing to infectivity and affecting recognition of bacteria by innate immune receptors, is also discussed.

Abstract
Shigella and enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) are gram-negative bacteria responsible for bacillary dysentery (shigellosis) in humans, which is characterized by invasion and inflammatory destruction of the human colonic epithelium. Different EIEC and Shigella subgroups rose independently from commensal E. coli through patho-adaptive evolution that included loss of functional genes interfering with the virulence and/or with the intracellular lifestyle of the bacteria, as well as acquisition of genetic elements harboring virulence genes. Among the latter is the large virulence plasmid encoding for a type three secretion system (T3SS), which enables translocation of virulence proteins (effectors) from the bacterium directly into the host cell cytoplasm. These effectors enable the pathogen to subvert epithelial cell functions, promoting its own uptake, replication in the host cytosol, and dissemination to adjacent cells while concomitantly inhibiting pro-inflammatory cell death. Furthermore, T3SS effectors are directly involved in Shigella manipulation of immune cells causing their dysfunction and promoting cell death. In the current chapter, we first describe the evolution of the enteroinvasive pathovars and then summarize the overall knowledge concerning the pathogenesis of these bacteria, with a particular focus on Shigella flexneri. Subversion of host cell functions in the human gut, both epithelial and immune cells, by different virulence factors is especially highlighted.

Abstract
Protein fatty-acylation describes the covalent modification of protein with fatty acids during or after translation. Chemical proteomic profiling methods have provided new opportunities to explore protein fatty-acylation in microbial pathogens. Recent studies suggest that protein fatty-acylation is essential to survival and pathogenesis of eukaryotic pathogens such as parasites and fungi. Moreover, fatty-acylation in host cells can be exploited or manipulated by pathogenic bacteria. Herein, we first review the prevalent classes of fatty-acylation in microbial pathogens and the chemical proteomic profiling methods for their global analysis. We then summarize recent fatty-acylation profiling studies performed in eukaryotic pathogens and during bacterial infections, highlighting how they contribute to functional characterization of fatty-acylation under these contexts.

Abstract
Cardiolipin and phosphatidic acid-binding protein (CLPABP) controls the stability of the mRNA harboring an AU-rich element (ARE) in the 3' UTR with the help of the RNA stabilizer, human antigen R (HuR). Although CLPABP is localized on the mitochondrial surface as a large protein-RNA complex, its precise role is not yet known. Recently, CLPABP was identified as an N-myristoylated protein. Here, we demonstrate the effects of N-myristoylation on the functions of CLPABP. In the present study, compared to the wild-type protein that possessed the "MG" motif at the N-terminus for N-myristoylation, the mutant CLPABP protein that lacked N-myristoylation modification site was unstable. Furthermore, the expression of the G/A mutant of CLPABP, which lacked N-myristoylation site, induced morphological alterations in mitochondria. Because pleckstrin homology domain-deleted mutant, which was fused with the N-myristoylation site derived from intact CLPABP, could not colocalize with mitochondria, N-myristoylation of CLPABP was predicted to affect its stability onto the mitochondrial membrane rather than its subcellular localization.

Abstract
The inhibition of host innate immunity pathways is essential for the persistence of attaching and effacing pathogens such as enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) and Citrobacter rodentium during mammalian infections. To subvert these pathways and suppress the antimicrobial response, attaching and effacing pathogens use type III secretion systems to introduce effectors targeting key signaling pathways in host cells. One such effector is the arginine glycosyltransferase NleB1 (NleBCR in C. rodentium) that modifies conserved arginine residues in death domain-containing host proteins with N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), thereby blocking extrinsic apoptosis signaling. Ectopically expressed NleB1 modifies the host proteins Fas-associated via death domain (FADD), TNFRSF1A-associated via death domain (TRADD), and receptor-interacting serine/threonine protein kinase 1 (RIPK1). However, the full repertoire of arginine GlcNAcylation induced by pathogen-delivered NleB1 is unknown. Using an affinity proteomic approach for measuring arginine-GlcNAcylated glycopeptides, we assessed the global profile of arginine GlcNAcylation during ectopic expression of NleB1, EPEC infection in vitro, or C. rodentium infection in vivo NleB overexpression resulted in arginine GlcNAcylation of multiple host proteins. However, NleB delivery during EPEC and C. rodentium infection caused rapid and preferential modification of Arg117 in FADD. This FADD modification was extremely stable and insensitive to physiological temperatures, glycosidases, or host cell degradation. Despite its stability and effect on the inhibition of apoptosis, arginine GlcNAcylation did not elicit any proteomic changes, even in response to prolonged NleB1 expression. We conclude that, at normal levels of expression during bacterial infection, NleB1/NleBCR antagonizes death receptor-induced apoptosis of infected cells by modifying FADD in an irreversible manner.
