ISG15 counteracts Listeria monocytogenes infection
نویسندگان
چکیده
ISG15 is an interferon-stimulated, linear di-ubiquitin-like protein, with anti-viral activity. The role of ISG15 during bacterial infection remains elusive. We show that ISG15 expression in nonphagocytic cells is dramatically induced upon Listeria infection. Surprisingly this induction can be type I interferon independent and depends on the cytosolic surveillance pathway, which senses bacterial DNA and signals through STING, TBK1, IRF3 and IRF7. Most importantly, we observed that ISG15 expression restricts Listeria infection in vitro and in vivo. We made use of stable isotope labeling in tissue culture (SILAC) to identify ISGylated proteins that could be responsible for the protective effect. Strikingly, infection or overexpression of ISG15 leads to ISGylation of ER and Golgi proteins, which correlates with increased secretion of cytokines known to counteract infection. Together, our data reveal a previously uncharacterized ISG15-dependent restriction of Listeria infection, reinforcing the view that ISG15 is a key component of the innate immune response.

Serpin 2a is induced in activated macrophages and conjugates to a ubiquitin homolog.
After i.p. infection of mice with the intracellular bacterium Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin, macrophages recovered from the peritoneal cavity display classical signs of immune activation. We have identified a member of the serine protease inhibitor (serpin) family which is highly induced in macrophages during bacillus Calmette-Guérin infection. Serpin 2a (spi2a) expression is als...
متن کاملListeria Monocytogenes La111 and Klebsiella Pneumoniae KCTC 2242: Shine-Dalgarno Sequences
Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious infection and recently, relapse of listeriosis has been reported in leukemia and colorectal cancer, and the patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae are at increased risk of colorectal cancer. Translation initiation codon recognition is basically mediated by Shine-Dalgarno (SD) and the anti-SD sequences at the small ribosomal RNA (ssu rRNA). In this research,...

Decreased susceptibility to Listeria monocytogenes in mice after infection with Trichinella spiralis.
Mice challenged intravenously with Listeria monocytogenes at 7 or 21 days after Trichinella spiralis infection demonstrated a higher mean lethal dose and longer survival time than normal mice. This effect of helminthic infection was abrogated after 49 days.
متن کاملProtection of mice against Listeria monocytogenes infection by recombinant human tumor necrosis factor alpha.
Recombinant human tumor necrosis factor alpha (rHuTNF-alpha) administered intravenously to mice resulted in enhanced resistance to a lethal challenge infection of Listeria monocytogenes given 24 h later. The observed protection was lost following treatment of the rHuTNF-alpha preparations with rabbit polyclonal antibody rHuTNF-alpha but not with normal rabbit immunoglobulin G.
