Abstract

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium invade non-phagocytic cells by injecting bacterial effector proteins to exploit the host actin cytoskeleton network. SipC is such a Salmonella effector known to nucleate actin, bundle F-actin, and translocate type III effectors. The molecular mechanism of how SipC bundles F-actin and SipC domains responsible for these activities are not well characterized. We successfully separated these activities through a series of genetic deletion/insertions in SipC. We found that the C terminus (amino acids 200-409) of SipC bundled actin filaments using in vitro biochemical assays. We further demonstrated that amino acid residues 221-260 and 381-409 of full-length SipC were indispensable for its actin binding and bundling activities. Furthermore, Salmonella mutant strains lacking the actin bundling activity were less invasive into HeLa cells. These studies indicate that the C terminus of SipC bundles F-actin to promote Salmonella invasion.
