Chemical Proteomics Reveals N^ε-Fatty-Acylation of Septins by Rho Inactivation Domain (RID) of the Vibrio MARTX Toxin to Alter Septin Localization and Organization.

ABSTRACT: Vibrio species, the Gram-negative bacterial pathogens causing cholera and sepsis, produce multiple secreted virulence factors for infection and pathogenesis. Among these is the multifunctional-autoprocessing repeats-in-toxin (MARTX) toxin that releases several critical effector domains with distinct functions inside eukaryotic host cells. One such effector domain, the Rho inactivation domain (RID), has been discovered to catalyze long-chain N^ε-fatty-acylation on lysine residues of Rho GTPases, causing inactivation of Rho GTPases and disruption of the host actin cytoskeleton. However, whether RID modifies other host proteins to exert additional functions remains to be determined. Herein, we describe the integration of bioorthogonal chemical labeling and quantitative proteomics to
