Bacterial killing via a type IV secretion system (original) (raw)
2015, Nature Communications
AI-generated Abstract
This research explores the mechanisms of bacterial killing facilitated by a type IV secretion system (T4SS). The study highlights the crucial role of T4SS in delivering effector proteins into host cells, which trigger cytotoxic responses leading to bacterial cell death. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of T4SS in mediating these interactions, suggesting potential therapeutic applications for targeting bacterial pathogens.

Antibodies Inhibiting the Type III Secretion System of Gram-Negative Pathogenic Bacteria
Antibodies, 2020
Pathogenic bacteria are a global health threat, with over 2 million infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria every year in the United States. This problem is exacerbated by the increase in resistance to common antibiotics that are routinely used to treat these infections, creating an urgent need for innovative ways to treat and prevent virulence caused by these pathogens. Many Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria use a type III secretion system (T3SS) to inject toxins and other effector proteins directly into host cells. The T3SS has become a popular anti-virulence target because it is required for pathogenesis and knockouts have attenuated virulence. It is also not required for survival, which should result in less selective pressure for resistance formation against T3SS inhibitors. In this review, we will highlight selected examples of direct antibody immunizations and the use of antibodies in immunotherapy treatments that target the bacterial T3SS. These examples include antibodies targeting the T3SS of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Yersinia pestis, Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, Shigella spp., and Chlamydia trachomatis.
A type VI secretion system delivers a cell wall amidase to target bacterial competitors
Molecular Microbiology, 2020
The human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa harbors three paralogous zinc proteases annotated as AmpD, AmpDh2, and AmpDh3, which turn over the cell wall and cell-wall-derived muropeptides. AmpD is cytoplasmic and plays a role in recycling of cell-wall muropeptides, with a link to antibiotic resistance. AmpDh2 is a periplasmic soluble enzyme with the former anchored to the inner leaflet of the outer membrane. We document herein that the type VI secretion system locus II (H2-T6SS) of P. aeruginosa delivers AmpDh3 (but not AmpD or AmpDh2) to the periplasm of a prey bacterium upon contact. AmpDh3 hydrolyzes the cell-wall peptidoglycan of the prey bacterium, which leads to its killing, thereby providing a growth advantage for P. aeruginosa in bacterial competition. We also document that the periplasmic protein PA0808, heretofore of unknown function, affords self-protection from lysis by AmpDh3. Cognates of the AmpDh3-PA0808 pair are widely distributed across Gram-negative bacteria. Taken together, these findings underscore the importance of their function as an evolutionary advantage and that of the H2-T6SS as the means for manifestation of the effect.
Bacteria-Killing Type IV Secretion Systems
Frontiers in Microbiology
Bacteria have been constantly competing for nutrients and space for billions of years. During this time, they have evolved many different molecular mechanisms by which to secrete proteinaceous effectors in order to manipulate and often kill rival bacterial and eukaryotic cells. These processes often employ large multimeric transmembrane nanomachines that have been classified as types I-IX secretion systems. One of the most evolutionarily versatile are the Type IV secretion systems (T4SSs), which have been shown to be able to secrete macromolecules directly into both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Until recently, examples of T4SS-mediated macromolecule transfer from one bacterium to another was restricted to protein-DNA complexes during bacterial conjugation. This view changed when it was shown by our group that many Xanthomonas species carry a T4SS that is specialized to transfer toxic bacterial effectors into rival bacterial cells, resulting in cell death. This review will focus on this special subtype of T4SS by describing its distinguishing features, similar systems in other proteobacterial genomes, and the nature of the effectors secreted by these systems and their cognate inhibitors.
