Interaction of Shigella flexneri IpaC with model membranes correlates with effects on cultured cells.
Invasion of enterocytes by Shigella flexneri requires the properly timed release of IpaB and IpaC at the host-pathogen interface; however, only IpaC has been found to possess quantifiable activities in vitro. We demonstrate here that when added to cultured cells, purified IpaC elicits cytoskeletal changes similar to those that occur during Shigella invasion. This IpaC effect may correlate with ...
متن کاملThe Tripartite Type III Secreton of Shigella flexneri Inserts Ipab and Ipac into Host Membranes
Bacterial type III secretion systems serve to translocate proteins into eukaryotic cells, requiring a secreton and a translocator for proteins to pass the bacterial and host membranes. We used the contact hemolytic activity of Shigella flexneri to investigate its putative translocator. Hemolysis was caused by formation of a 25-A pore within the red blood cell (RBC) membrane. Of the five protein...
متن کاملInfection of Cultured Mouse Macrophages with Shigella flexneri.
Virulent, avirulent, and attenuated hybrid strains of Shigella flexneri 2a are equally susceptible to phagocytosis by cultured mouse peritoneal macrophages. The virulent strain is highly lethal for the macrophages, whereas the avirulent is not and is killed. The attenuated hybrid strain is intermediate in its lethality. Comparable results were obtained by using virulent and avirulent S. flexner...

15 صفحه اولStructural characterization of the N terminus of IpaC from Shigella flexneri.
The primary effector for Shigella invasion of epithelial cells is IpaC, which is secreted via a type III secretion system. We recently reported that the IpaC N terminus is required for type III secretion and possibly other functions. In this study, mutagenesis was used to identify an N-terminal secretion signal and to determine the functional importance of the rest of the IpaC N terminus. The 1...
