Internalization of Listeria monocytogenes into non-phagocytic cells is tightly controlled by host cell actin dynamics and cell membrane alterations. However, knowledge about the impact of phosphatidylcholine cleavage driven by host cell phospholipase D (PLD) on Listeria internalization into epithelial cells is limited. Here, we report that L. monocytogenes activates PLD in Vero cells during the internalization. With immunostaining it was shown that both PLD1 and PLD2 surrounded partially or completely the phagocytic cup of most L. monocytogenes. Either up- or down-regulation of PLD expression (activity) diminished Listeria internalization. Both PLD1 and PLD2 in Vero cells were required for efficient Listeria internalization, and could substitute for each other in the regulation of Listeria internalization. Further, exogenous InlB activated host cell PLD1 and PLD2 via the Met receptor, and restored host PLD activation by InlB-deficient L. monocytogenes. InlB-induced PLD activation and Listeria internalization were tightly controlled by phospho-cycling of cofilin. PLD1, but not PLD2, was involved in cofilin-mediated PLD activation and Listeria internalization. These data indicate that cofilin-dependent PLD activation induced by InlB may represent a novel regulation mechanism for efficient Listeria internalization into epithelial cells.  相似文献

A role for cofilin and LIM kinase in Listeria-induced phagocytosis   总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9       下载免费PDF全文
The pathogenic bacterium Listeria monocytogenes is able to invade nonphagocytic cells, an essential feature for its pathogenicity. This induced phagocytosis process requires tightly regulated steps of actin polymerization and depolymerization. Here, we investigated how interactions of the invasion protein InlB with mammalian cells control the cytoskeleton during Listeria internalization. By fluorescence microscopy and transfection experiments, we show that the actin-nucleating Arp2/3 complex, the GTPase Rac, LIM kinase (LIMK), and cofilin are key proteins in InlB-induced phagocytosis. Overexpression of LIMK1, which has been shown to phosphorylate and inactivate cofilin, induces accumulation of F-actin beneath entering particles and inhibits internalization. Conversely, inhibition of LIMK's activity by expressing a dominant negative construct, LIMK1(-), or expression of the constitutively active S3A cofilin mutant induces loss of actin filaments at the phagocytic cup and also inhibits phagocytosis. Interestingly, those constructs similarly affect other actin-based phenomenons, such as InlB-induced membrane ruffling or Listeria comet tail formations. Thus, our data provide evidence for a control of phagocytosis by both activation and deactivation of cofilin. We propose a model in which cofilin is involved in the formation and disruption of the phagocytic cup as a result of its local progressive enrichment.  相似文献

The internalization of Aspergillus fumigatus into lung epithelial cells is a process that depends on host cell actin dynamics. The host membrane phosphatidylcholine cleavage driven by phospholipase D (PLD) is closely related to cellular actin dynamics. However, little is known about the impact of PLD on A. fumigatus internalization into lung epithelial cells. Here, we report that once germinated, A. fumigatus conidia were able to stimulate host PLD activity and internalize more efficiently in A549 cells without altering PLD expression. The internalization of A. fumigatus in A549 cells was suppressed by the downregulation of host cell PLD using chemical inhibitors or siRNA interference. The heat-killed swollen conidia, but not the resting conidia, were able to activate host PLD. Further, β-1,3-glucan, the core component of the conidial cell wall, stimulated host PLD activity. This PLD activation and conidia internalization were inhibited by anti-dectin-1 antibody. Indeed, dectin-1, a β-1,3-glucan receptor, was expressed in A549 cells, and its expression profile was not altered by conidial stimulation. Finally, host cell PLD1 and PLD2 accompanied A. fumigatus conidia during internalization. Our data indicate that host cell PLD activity induced by β-1,3-glucan on the surface of germinated conidia is important for the efficient internalization of A. fumigatus into A549 lung epithelial cells.  相似文献

Entry of Salmonella into mammalian cells is strictly dependent on the reorganization of actin cytoskeleton induced by a panel of Salmonella type III secreted proteins. Although several factors have been identified to be responsible for inducing the actin polymerization and stability, little is known about how the actin depolymerization contributes to Salmonella-induced actin rearrangements. We report here that activity cycles of host actin depolymerizing factor (ADF and cofilin) are modulated by Salmonella during bacterial entry. Efficient Salmonella internalization involves an initial dephosphorylation of ADF and cofilin followed by phosphorylation, suggesting that ADF and cofilin activities are increased briefly. Expression of a kinase dead form of an ADF/cofilin kinase (LIM kinase 1) or a catalytically inactive ADF/cofilin phosphatase (Slingshot), but not constitutively active LIM kinase 1 or wild-type Slingshot, resulted in decreased invasion. These data suggest that ADF/cofilin activities play a key role in the actin polymerization/depolymerization process induced by Salmonella. The activation of ADF/cofilin is brief and has to be reversed to facilitate efficient bacterial entry. Surprisingly, co-expression of constitutive active ADF and cofilin prevented efficient Salmonella entry, whereas expression of either one alone had no effect. We propose that ADF and cofilin actin-dynamizing activities and their activity cycling via phosphorylation are required for efficient Salmonella internalization.  相似文献

Porphyromonas gingivalis, a host-adapted opportunistic pathogen, produces a serine phosphatase, SerB, known to affect virulence, invasion and persistence within the host cell. SerB induces actin filament rearrangement in epithelial cells, but the mechanistic basis of this is not fully understood. Here we investigated the effects of SerB on the actin depolymerizing host protein cofilin. P. gingivalis infection resulted in the dephosphorylation of cofilin in gingival epithelial cells. In contrast, a SerB-deficient mutant of P. gingivalis was unable to cause cofilin dephosphorylation. The involvement of cofilin in P. gingivalis invasion was determined by quantitative image analysis of epithelial cells in which cofilin had been knocked down or knocked in with various cofilin constructs. siRNA-silencing of cofilin led to a significant decrease in numbers of intracellular P. gingivalis marked by an absence of actin colocalization. Transfection with wild-type cofilin or constitutively active cofilin both increased numbers of intracellular bacteria, while constitutively inactive cofilin abrogated invasion. Expression of LIM kinase resulted in reduced P. gingivalis invasion, an effect that was reversed by expression of constitutively active cofilin. These results show that P. gingivalis SerB activity induces dephosphorylation of cofilin, and that active cofilin is required for optimal invasion into gingival epithelial cells.  相似文献

Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen able to invade non-phagocytic cells. InlA, a L. monocytogenes surface protein, interacts with human E-cadherin to promote bacterial entry. L. monocytogenes internalization is a dynamic process involving co-ordinated actin cytoskeleton rearrangements and host cell membrane remodelling at the site of bacterial attachment. Interaction between E-cadherin and catenins is required to promote Listeria entry, and for the establishment of adherens junctions in epithelial cells. Although several molecular factors promoting E-cadherin-mediated Listeria internalization have been identified, the proteins regulating the transient actin polymerization required at the bacterial entry site are unknown. Here we show that the Arp2/3 complex acts as an actin nucleator during the InlA/E-cadherin-dependent internalization. Using a variety of approaches including siRNA, expression of dominant negative derivatives and pharmacological inhibitors, we demonstrate the crucial role of cortactin in the activation of the Arp2/3 complex during InlA-mediated entry. We also show the requirement of the small GTPase Rac1 and that of Src-tyrosine kinase activity to promote Listeria internalization. Together, these data suggest a model in which Src tyrosine kinase and Rac1 promote recruitment of cortactin and activation of Arp2/3 at Listeria entry site, mimicking events that occur during adherens junction formation.  相似文献

Cofilin is the major mediator of actin filament turnover in vivo. However, the molecular mechanism of cofilin recruitment to actin networks during dynamic actin-mediated processes in living cells and cofilin's precise in vivo functions have not been determined. In this study, we analyzed the dynamics of fluorescently tagged cofilin and the role of cofilin-mediated actin turnover during endocytosis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In living cells, cofilin is not necessary for actin assembly on endocytic membranes but is recruited to molecularly aged adenosine diphosphate actin filaments and is necessary for their rapid disassembly. Defects in cofilin function alter the morphology of actin networks in vivo and reduce the rate of actin flux through actin networks. The consequences of decreasing actin flux are manifested by decreased but not blocked endocytic internalization at the plasma membrane and defects in late steps of membrane trafficking to the vacuole. These results suggest that cofilin-mediated actin filament flux is required for the multiple steps of endocytic trafficking.  相似文献

Actin filaments in cells depolymerize rapidly despite the presence of high concentrations of polymerizable G actin. Cofilin is recognized as a key regulator that promotes actin depolymerization. In this study, we show that although pure cofilin can disassemble Listeria monocytogenes actin comet tails, it cannot efficiently disassemble comet tails in the presence of polymerizable actin. Thymus extracts also rapidly disassemble comet tails, and this reaction is more efficient than pure cofilin when normalized to cofilin concentration. By biochemical fractionation, we identify Aip1 and coronin as two proteins present in thymus extract that facilitate the cofilin-mediated disassembly of Listeria comet tails. Together, coronin and Aip1 lower the amount of cofilin required to disassemble the comet tail and permit even low concentrations of cofilin to depolymerize actin in the presence of polymerizable G actin. The cooperative activities of cofilin, coronin, and Aip1 should provide a biochemical basis for understanding how actin filaments can grow in some places in the cell while shrinking in others.  相似文献

Intracellular pathogens have evolved diverse strategies to invade and survive within host cells. Among the most studied facultative intracellular pathogens, Listeria monocytogenes is known to express two invasins-InlA and InlB-that induce bacterial internalization into nonphagocytic cells. The pore-forming toxin listeriolysin O (LLO) facilitates bacterial escape from the internalization vesicle into the cytoplasm, where bacteria divide and undergo cell-to-cell spreading via actin-based motility. In the present study we demonstrate that in addition to InlA and InlB, LLO is required for efficient internalization of L. monocytogenes into human hepatocytes (HepG2). Surprisingly, LLO is an invasion factor sufficient to induce the internalization of noninvasive Listeria innocua or polystyrene beads into host cells in a dose-dependent fashion and at the concentrations produced by L. monocytogenes. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying LLO-induced bacterial entry, we constructed novel LLO derivatives locked at different stages of the toxin assembly on host membranes. We found that LLO-induced bacterial or bead entry only occurs upon LLO pore formation. Scanning electron and fluorescence microscopy studies show that LLO-coated beads stimulate the formation of membrane extensions that ingest the beads into an early endosomal compartment. This LLO-induced internalization pathway is dynamin-and F-actin-dependent, and clathrin-independent. Interestingly, further linking pore formation to bacteria/bead uptake, LLO induces F-actin polymerization in a tyrosine kinase-and pore-dependent fashion. In conclusion, we demonstrate for the first time that a bacterial pathogen perforates the host cell plasma membrane as a strategy to activate the endocytic machinery and gain entry into the host cell.  相似文献

Phospholipase D (PLD) produces phosphatidic acid (PA), an established intracellular signalling lipid that has been also implicated in vesicular trafficking, and as such, PLD could play multiple roles during phagocytosis. Using an RNA interference strategy, we show that endogenous PLD1 and PLD2 are necessary for efficient phagocytosis in murine macrophages, in line with results obtained with wild-type constructs and catalytically inactive PLD mutants which, respectively, enhance and inhibit phagocytosis. Furthermore, we found that PA is transiently produced at sites of phagosome formation. Macrophage PLD1 and PLD2 differ in their subcellular distributions. PLD1 is associated with cytoplasmic vesicles, identified as a late endosomal/lysosomal compartment, whereas PLD2 localizes at the plasma membrane. In living cells undergoing phagocytosis, PLD1 vesicles are recruited to nascent and internalized phagosomes, whereas PLD2 is only observed on nascent phagosomes. These results provide evidence that both PLD isoforms are required for phagosome formation, but only PLD1 seems to be implicated in later stages of phagocytosis occurring after phagosomal internalization.  相似文献

Small GTPase Rac is a crucial regulator of actin cytoskeletal rearrangement, and it plays an important role in cell spreading, migration, mitogenesis, phagocytosis, superoxide generation, and axonal growth. It is generally accepted that Rac activity is regulated by the guanosine triphosphate (GTP)/guanosine diphosphate (GDP) cycle. But, it is suggested that in addition to Rac-GTP loading, membrane localization is required for the initiation of downstream effector signaling. However, the molecular mechanisms that control the targeting of GTP-Rac to the plasma membrane remain largely unknown. Here, we have uncovered a signaling pathway linking phospholipase D (PLD) to the localized functions of Rac1. We show that PLD product phosphatidic acid (PA) acts as a membrane anchor of Rac1. The C-terminal polybasic motif of Rac1 is responsible for direct interaction with PA, and Rac1 mutated in this region is incapable of translocating to the plasma membrane and of activating downstream target p21-activated kinase upon integrin activation. Finally, we show that PA induces dissociation of Rho-guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor from Rac1 and that PA-mediated Rac1 localization is important for integrin-mediated lamellipodia formation, cell spreading, and migration. These results provide a novel molecular mechanism for the GTP-Rac1 localization through the elevating PLD activity, and they suggest a general mechanism for diverse cellular functions that is required localized Rac activation.  相似文献

Stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors (betaARs) leads to sequential recruitment of beta-arrestin, AP-2 adaptor protein, clathrin, and dynamin to the receptor complex, resulting in endocytosis. Whether a dynamic actin cytoskeleton is required for betaAR endocytosis is not known. In this study, we have used beta(1)- and beta(2) ARs, two ubiquitously expressed members of the betaAR family, to comprehensively evaluate the requirement of the actin cytoskeleton in receptor internalization. The integrity of the actin cytoskeleton was manipulated with the agent latrunculin B (LB) and mutants of cofilin to depolymerize actin filaments. Treatment of cells with LB resulted in dose-dependent depolymerization of the cortical actin cytoskeleton that was associated with significant attenuation in internalization of beta(2)ARs, beta(1)ARs, and mutants of beta(1)ARs that internalize via either clathrin- or caveolin-dependent pathways. Importantly, LB treatment did not inhibit beta-arrestin translocation or dynamin recruitment to the agonist-stimulated receptor. To unequivocally demonstrate the requirement of the actin cytoskeleton for beta(2)AR endocytosis, we used an actin-binding protein cofilin that biochemically depolymerizes and severs actin filaments. Isoproterenol-mediated internalization of beta(2)AR was completely blocked in the presence of wild type cofilin, which could be rescued by a mutant of cofilin that mimics a constitutive phosphorylated state and leads to normal agonist-stimulated beta(2)AR endocytosis. Finally, treatment with jasplakinolide, an inhibitor of actin turnover, resulted in dose-dependent inhibition of beta(2)AR internalization, suggesting that turnover of actin filaments at the receptor complex is required for endocytosis. Taken together, these data demonstrate that intact and functional dynamic actin cytoskeleton is required for normal betaAR internalization.  相似文献

Membrane lipids and cytoskeleton dynamics are intimately inter‐connected in the eukaryotic cell; however, only recently have the molecular mechanisms operating at this interface in plant cells been addressed experimentally. Phospholipase D (PLD) and its product phosphatidic acid (PA) were discovered to be important regulators in the membrane–cytoskeleton interface in eukaryotes. Here we report the mechanistic details of plant PLD–actin interactions. Inhibition of PLD by n‐butanol compromises pollen tube actin, and PA rescues the detrimental effect of n‐butanol on F‐actin, showing clearly the importance of the PLD–PA interaction for pollen tube F‐actin dynamics. From various candidate tobacco PLDs isoforms, we identified NtPLDβ1 as a regulatory partner of actin, by both activity and in vitro interaction assays. Similarly to published data, the activity of tobacco PIP2‐dependent PLD (PLDβ) is specifically enhanced by F‐actin and inhibited by G‐actin. We then identified the NtPLDβ1 domain responsible for actin interactions. Using sequence‐ and structure‐based analysis, together with site‐directed mutagenesis, we identified Asn323 and Thr382 of NtPLDβ1 as the crucial amino acids in the actin‐interacting fold. The effect of antisense‐mediated suppression of NtPLDβ1 or NtPLDδ on pollen tube F‐actin dynamics shows that NtPLDβ1 is the active partner in PLD–actin interplay. The positive feedback loop created by activation of PLDβ by F‐actin and of F‐actin by PA provides an important mechanism to locally increase membrane–F‐actin dynamics in the cortex of plant cells.  相似文献

A role for ActA in epithelial cell invasion by Listeria monocytogenes   总被引:6,自引:1,他引:6  
We assessed the role of the actin-polymerizing protein, ActA, in host cell invasion by Listeria monocytogenes . An in frame Δ actA mutant was constructed in a hyperinvasive strain of prfA * genotype, in which all genes of the PrfA-dependent virulence regulon, including actA , are highly expressed in vitro . Loss of ActA production in prfA * bacteria reduced entry into Caco-2, HeLa, MDCK and Vero epithelial cells to basal levels. Reintroduction of actA into the Δ actA prfA * mutant fully restored invasiveness, demonstrating that ActA is involved in epithelial cell invasion. ActA did not contribute to internalization by COS-1 fibroblasts and Hepa 1-6 hepatocytes. Expression of actA in Listeria innocua was sufficient to promote entry of this non-invasive species into epithelial cell lines, but not into COS-1 and Hepa 1-6 cells, indicating that ActA directs an internalization pathway specific for epithelial cells. Scanning electron microscopy of infected Caco-2 human enterocytes suggested that this pathway involves microvilli. prfA * bacteria, but not wild-type bacteria (which express PrfA-dependent genes very weakly in vitro ) or prfA *Δ actA bacteria, efficiently invaded differentiated Caco-2 cells via their apical surface. Microvilli played an active role in the phagocytosis of the prfA * strain, and actA was required for their remodelling into pseudopods mediating bacterial uptake. Thus, ActA appears to be a multifunctional virulence factor involved in two important aspects of Listeria pathogenesis: actin-based motility and host cell tropism and invasion.  相似文献

The Listeria monocytogenes ActA protein induces actin-based motility by enhancing the actin nucleating activity of the host Arp2/3 complex. Using systematic truncation analysis, we identified a 136-residue NH(2)-terminal fragment that was fully active in stimulating nucleation in vitro. Further deletion analysis demonstrated that this fragment contains three regions, which are important for nucleation and share functional and/or limited sequence similarity with host WASP family proteins: an acidic stretch, an actin monomer-binding region, and a cofilin homology sequence. To determine the contribution of each region to actin-based motility, we compared the biochemical activities of ActA derivatives with the phenotypes of corresponding mutant bacteria in cells. The acidic stretch functions to increase the efficiency of actin nucleation, the rate and frequency of motility, and the effectiveness of cell-cell spread. The monomer-binding region is required for actin nucleation in vitro, but not for actin polymerization or motility in infected cells, suggesting that redundant mechanisms may exist to recruit monomer in host cytosol. The cofilin homology sequence is critical for stimulating actin nucleation with the Arp2/3 complex in vitro, and is essential for actin polymerization and motility in cells. These data demonstrate that each region contributes to actin-based motility, and that the cofilin homology sequence plays a principal role in activation of the Arp2/3 complex, and is an essential determinant of L. monocytogenes pathogenesis.  相似文献

The driving force behind cell motility is the actin cytoskeleton. Filopodia and lamellipodia are formed by the polymerization and extension of actin filaments towards the cell membrane. This polymerization at the barbed end of the filament is balanced by depolymerization at the pointed end, recycling the actin in a 'treadmilling' process. One protein involved in this process is cofilin/actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF), which can depolymerize actin filaments, allowing treadmilling to occur at an accelerated rate. Cofilin/ADF is an actin-binding protein that is required for actin-filament disassembly, cytokinesis and the organization of muscle actin filaments. There is also evidence that cofilin/ADF enhances cell motility, although a direct requirement in vivo has not yet been shown. Here we show that Drosophila cofilin/ADF, which is encoded by the twinstar (tsr) gene, promotes cell movements during ovary development and oogenesis. During larval development, cofilin/ADF is required for the cell rearrangement needed for formation of terminal filaments, stacks of somatic cells that are important for the initiation of ovarioles. It is also required for the migration of border cells during oogenesis. These results show that cofilin/ADF is an important regulator of actin-based cell motility during Drosophila development.  相似文献

Rapid activation of phospholipase D (PLD) in response to cell stimulation was recently demonstrated in many systems, raising the hypothesis that PLD participates in transduction of extracellular signals across the plasma membrane. In the present study, we describe the identification of a neutral PLD activity in purified rat brain synaptic plasma membranes, and the in vitro conditions required to assay its catalytic activity with exogenous [3H]phosphatidylcholine as substrate. Production of [3H]phosphatidic acid, the natural lipid product of PLD and of [3H]phosphatidylethanol, catalyzed by PLD in the presence of ethanol via transphosphatidylation, were measured. The synaptic membrane PLD exhibited its highest activity at pH 7.2 and was thus defined as a neutral PLD. Enzyme activity was absolutely dependent on the presence of sodium oleate and was strongly activated by Mg2+ ions (at 1 mM). Ca2+ at concentrations up to 0.25 mM was as stimulatory as Mg2+, but at 2 mM it completely inhibited enzyme activity. Mg2+ extended the linear phase of PLD activity from 2 to 15 min, suggesting that it may stabilize the enzyme under our assay conditions. The production of [3H]phosphatidylethanol was a saturable function of ethanol concentration. Production of [3H] phosphatidic acid was inversely related to the concentration of ethanol and to the accumulation of phosphatidylethanol, indicating that the two phospholipids are indeed produced by the competing hydrolase and transferase activities of the same enzyme. beta,beta-Dimethylglutaric acid, utilized previously as a buffer in studies of rat brain PLD, inhibited enzyme activity at neutral pH but not at acidic pH. The properties of the neutral synaptic membrane PLD and its relationships with other in vitro, acid, and neutral PLD activities, as well as with the signal-dependent PLD detected in intact cells, are discussed.  相似文献

A variety of bacterial intracellular pathogens target the host cell ubiquitin system during invasion, a process that involves transient but fundamental changes in the actin cytoskeleton and plasma membrane. These changes are induced by bacterial proteins, which can be surface associated, secreted or injected directly into the host cell. Here, the invasion strategies of two extensively studied intracellular bacteria, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and Listeria monocytogenes, are used to illustrate some of the diverse ways by which bacterial pathogens intersect the host cell ubiquitin pathway.  相似文献

The activity state of cofilin, which controls actin dynamics, is driven by a phosphorylation-dephosphorylation cycle. Phosphorylation of cofilin by LIM-kinases results in its inactivation, a process supported by 14-3-3zeta and reversed by dephosphorylation by slingshot phosphatases. Here we report on a novel cellular function for the phosphorylation-dephosphorylation cycle of cofilin. We demonstrate that muscarinic receptor-mediated stimulation of phospholipase D1 (PLD1) is controlled by LIM-kinase, slingshot phosphatase as well as 14-3-3zeta, and requires phosphorylatable cofilin. Cofilin directly and specifically interacts with PLD1 and upon phosphorylation by LIM-kinase1, stimulates PLD1 activity, an effect mimicked by phosphorylation-mimic cofilin mutants. The interaction of cofilin with PLD1 is under receptor control and encompasses a PLD1-specific fragment (aa 585-712). Expression of this fragment suppresses receptor-induced cofilin-PLD1 interaction as well as PLD stimulation and actin stress fiber formation. These data indicate that till now designated inactive phospho-cofilin exhibits an active cellular function, and suggest that phospho-cofilin by its stimulatory effect on PLD1 may control a large variety of cellular functions.  相似文献
