RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Serine-ubiquitination regulates Golgi morphology and the secretory pathway upon Legionella infection JF bioRxiv FD Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory SP 2020.07.27.223842 DO 10.1101/2020.07.27.223842 A1 Yaobin Liu A1 Rukmini Mukherjee A1 Florian Bonn A1 Thomas Colby A1 Ivan Matic A1 Marius Glogger A1 Mike Heilemann A1 Ivan Dikic YR 2020 UL http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2020/11/19/2020.07.27.223842.abstract AB SidE family of Legionella effectors catalyze non-canonical phosphoribosyl-linked ubiquitination (PR-ubiquitination) of host proteins during bacterial infection. SdeA localizes predominantly to ER and partially to the Golgi apparatus, and mediates serine ubiquitination of multiple ER and Golgi proteins. Here we show that SdeA causes disruption of Golgi integrity due to its ubiquitin ligase activity. The Golgi linking proteins GRASP55 and GRASP65 are PR-ubiquitinated on multiple serine residues, thus preventing their ability to cluster and form oligomeric structures. In addition, we found that the functional consequence of Golgi disruption is not linked to the recruitment of Golgi membranes to the growing Legionella-containing vacuoles. Instead, it affects the secretory pathway, including cytokine release in cells. Taken together, our study sheds light on the Golgi manipulation strategy by which Legionella hijacks the secretory pathway and promotes bacterial infection.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
