Bacteriology - cellular invasion Flashcards
(201 cards)
Chlamydia binding
Probably many receptors. cell-surface exposed PDI may be bound by EB and have an enzymatic role in entry.
Chlamydial entry - actin rearrangements.
Requires Rac1 dep remodelling.
Chlamydial Rac1 remodelling
Injection of Tarp, phosphorylation –> recruitment of Sos and Vav (Rac1 GEFs) and Abi-1 –> WAVE complex activity –> Arp2/3.
Possible role for Ct694.
Chlamydial transition EB –> RB
EB outer proteins are cross-linked. Disulphide bonds are reduced on internalisation –> nucleoid decondensation –> transcription.
Chlamydial effector secretion system.
T3SS
Chlamydial effectors inserting into inclusion membrane are called…
Inc
Inc-recruited proteins
Rab1, 4, 11; recycling endosome and Golgi related Rab GTPases.
Dynein for transport to perinuclear regions.
Chlamydial inclusion body formation and nutrient delivery.
Needs lipids (sphingolipids, cholesterol) for development.
a) Golgi fragmentation
b) Multivesicular bodies
c?) Non-classical routes e.g. lipid droplets
Inhibition of host cell death: Chlamydia.
Early block, late induction
Chlamydia: early block of apoptosis.
Stabilises inhibitor of apoptosis proteins.
Sequesters pro-apoptotic BAD.
Degrades BH3 only proteins. –> less Bax activation –> less cyt c release.
Intracellular bacteria - host cell death.
Inhibition - early chlamydia
Induction - late chlamydia, salmonella, shigella
Chlamydia - general
obligate intracellular pathogen.
Intracellular bacteria rapidly escaping cell cytoplasm.
Shigella, Listeria
Intracellular bacteria remaining withing the membrane bound vesicle.
Salmonella, Legionella pneumophila, Brucella abortus or Chlamydia spp
Chlamydial target cells
Epithelial cells.
Chlamydial entry sites
Occur at lipid microdomains.
Bacteria using raft-dependent entry pathways.
Shigella flexneri, Fim H-expressing E. coli, Brucella spp. and Chlamydia spp.
May confer special properties to the early inclusion/vesicle.
Chlamydial entry overview.
Adhesins, lipid microdomains, actin cytoskeleton reorganisation.
Intracellular bacteria uptake
Zipper, trigger, other mechanisms, phagocytosis.
Intracellular survival
Bacterial developmental transition.
Stay in the vacuole?
Manipulating the host cell
Manipulating the host cell
Bacteria containing compartment interacting with other compartments.
Altering host cell death
Inhibiting immune response.
Exiting the host cell
Host cell death.
Exocytosis.
Intracellular spread.
Host endocytotic pathway
Endocytosis/macropinocytosis –> EE –> late endosomes and acidification –> lysosomes.
Zipper mechanism
Express surface proteins.
