The Salmonella Effector SseK3 Targets Small Rab GTPases.

ABSTRACT: During infection, Salmonella species inject multiple type III secretion system (T3SS) effector proteins into host cells that mediate invasion and subsequent intracellular replication. At early stages of infection, Salmonella exploits key regulators of host intracellular vesicle transport, including the small GTPases Rab5 and Rab7, to subvert host endocytic vesicle trafficking and establish the Salmonella-containing vacuole (SCV). At later stages of intracellular replication, interactions of the SCV with Rab GTPases are less well defined. Here we report that Rab1, Rab5, and Rab11 are modified at later stages of Salmonella infection by SseK3, an arginine N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) transferase effector translocated via the Salmonella pathogenicity i
