Tir Is Essential for the Recruitment of Tks5 to Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli Pedestals
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is a bacterial pathogen that infects the epithelial lining of the small intestine and causes diarrhea. Upon attachment to the intestinal epithelium, EPEC uses a Type III Secretion System to inject its own high affinity receptor Translocated intimin receptor (Tir) into the host cell. Tir facilitates tight adhesion and recruitment of actin-regulating prote...
متن کاملComparison of Tir from enterohemorrahgic and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli strains: two homologues with distinct intracellular properties.
Tir of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) or enterohemorrahgic E. coil (EHEC) is translocated by a type III secretion system to the host cell membranes where it serves as a receptor for the binding of a second bacterial membrane protein. In response to the binding, EPEC Tir is phosphorylated at Tyr474, and this phosphorylation is necessary for the signaling of pedestal formation. Tir of E...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation of the orf19 gene and the tir-cesT-eae operon of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli.
To establish an intimate interaction with the host epithelial cell surface, enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) produces Tir, a bacterial protein that upon translocation and insertion into the epithelial cell membrane constitutes the receptor for intimin. The tir gene is encoded by the locus for enterocyte effacement (LEE), where it is flanked upstream by orf19 and downstream by the cesT a...
متن کاملInteraction of the enteropathogenic Escherichia coli protein, translocated intimin receptor (Tir), with focal adhesion proteins.
When enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) attach and infect host cells, they induce a cytoskeletal rearrangement and the formation of cytoplasmic columns of actin filaments called pedestals. The attached EPEC and pedestals move over the surface of the host cell in an actin-dependent reaction [Sanger et al., 1996: Cell Motil Cytoskeleton 34:279-287]. The discovery that EPEC inserts the prote...
متن کاملCharacterization of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli mutants that fail to disrupt host cell spreading and attachment to substratum.
Upon infection of host cells, enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) delivers a set of effector proteins into the host cell cytoplasm via the type III secretion system (TTSS). The effectors subvert various host cell functions. We found that EPEC interferes with the spreading and ultimately with the attachment of suspended fibroblasts or epithelial cells, and we isolated mini-Tn10kan insertion...
