Proximity labelling reveals VPS13C as a regulator of Salmonella-containing vacuole fission.

ABSTRACT: Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is a facultative intracellular bacterial pathogen that grows within a specialized membrane-bound compartment known as the Salmonella-containing vacuole (SCV). The molecular composition and regulatory mechanisms governing SCV dynamics remain incompletely understood. In this study, we employed proximity-dependent biotin identification (BioID) to analyze the SCV proteome during infection. For this, we targeted the UltraID biotin ligase to the SCV by fusing it to a type 3 secreted effector. We demonstrate that the bacteria express and translocate the effector-UltraID fusion protein directly into host cells for labeling of the cytosolic face of the SCV surface. Proteomic analysis of biotinylated proteins revealed previously undescribed pr
