Bacterial Effector-Involved Temporal and Spatial Regulation by Hijack of the Host Ubiquitin Pathway
Ubiquitination is one of the most conserved post-translational modifications of proteins, and is involved in essential eukaryotic cellular processes. These include protein degradation, transcriptional regulation, cell-cycle progression, and signaling. Microbial pathogens have evolved sophisticated systems to hijack host cellular functions for their own benefit. Central to these systems are prot...
متن کاملStructural Mimicry by a Bacterial F Box Effector Hijacks the Host Ubiquitin-Proteasome System.
Ankyrin B (AnkB/LegAU13) is a translocated F box effector essential for the intracellular replication of the pathogen Legionella pneumophila. AnkB co-opts a host ubiquitin ligase to decorate the pathogen-containing vacuole with K48-linked polyubiquitinated proteins and degrade host proteins as a source of energy. Here, we report that AnkB commandeers the host ubiquitin-proteasome system through...
متن کاملEpigenetic Modifications of Host Genes Induced by Bacterial Infection
Introduction: Epigenetic mechanisms regulate expression of the genome to generate various cell types during development or coordinate cellular responses to external stimulus. While epigenetics is of fundamental importance in eukaryotes, it plays a different role in bacteria. This article uncovers the most important recent data on how bacteria can alter epigenetic marks and can also contribute t...
متن کاملRegulation of the Hippo signaling pathway by ubiquitin modification
The Hippo signaling pathway plays an essential role in adult tissue homeostasis and organ size control. Abnormal regulation of Hippo signaling can be a cause for multiple types of human cancers. Since the awareness of the importance of the Hippo signaling in a wide range of biological fields has been continually grown, it is also understood that a thorough and well-rounded comprehension of the ...
متن کاملSrc and Abl hijack the Robo1 pathway
www.impactjournals.com/oncotarget 167 Oncotarget 2010; 1: 167-167 Src and Abl are non-receptor tyrosine kinases that promote tumor cell migration. This hallmark of malignant cell growth is required for tumor cell invasion and metastasis. However, mechanisms by which Src and Abl augment these events are not well defined. In this report [1], Khusial et al. have elegantly shown that Src activates ...
