The enteropathogenic Escherichia coli-secreted protein EspZ inhibits host cell apoptosis.
The diarrheagenic pathogen enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) limits the death of infected enterocytes early in infection. A number of bacterial molecules and host signaling pathways contribute to the enhanced survival of EPEC-infected host cells. EspZ, a type III secreted effector protein that is unique to EPEC and related "attaching and effacing" (A/E) pathogens, plays a role in limitin...
متن کاملEspZ of Enteropathogenic and Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli Regulates Type III Secretion System Protein Translocation
UNLABELLED Translocation of effector proteins via a type III secretion system (T3SS) is a widespread infection strategy among Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. Each pathogen translocates a particular set of effectors that subvert cell signaling in a way that suits its particular infection cycle. However, as effector unbalance might lead to cytotoxicity, the pathogens must employ mechanisms tha...
متن کاملHost cell death due to enteropathogenic Escherichia coli has features of apoptosis.
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is a cause of prolonged watery diarrhea in children in developing countries. The ability of EPEC to kill host cells was investigated in vitro in assays using two human cultured cell lines, HeLa (cervical) and T84 (colonic). EPEC killed epithelial cells as assessed by permeability to the vital dyes trypan blue and propidium iodide. In addition, EPEC trigg...
متن کاملActivation of host cell protein kinase C by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli.
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) consists of a group of diarrhea-producing E. coli strains, common in developing countries, which do not produce classical toxins and are not truly invasive. EPEC strains adhere to mammalian cells in an intimate fashion, trigger a localized increase in intracellular calcium levels, and elevate inositol phosphate production. We hypothesized that these medi...
متن کاملThe enteropathogenic Escherichia coli effector NleH inhibits apoptosis induced by Clostridium difficile toxin B
Clostridium difficile is a leading cause of nosocomial infections, causing a spectrum of diseases ranging from diarrhoea to pseudomembranous colitis triggered by a range of virulence factors including C. difficile toxins A (TcdA) and B (TcdB). TcdA and TcdB are monoglucosyltransferases that irreversibly glycosylate small Rho GTPases, inhibiting their ability to interact with their effectors, gu...
