129
Salmonella: avoiding delivery of acid hydrolases
Normally: cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate receptor delivers lysosomal hydrolases from TGN to early endosomes. SNX1 retrieves these vesicles back to the TGN. SNX1 binds PI3P produced by SopB, so is localised to near the SCV to protect it.
130

Shigella disease
causes shigellosis in humans (and apes) = dysentery with imbalance of host regulation of inflammation due to bacterial —> one of the leading bacterial causes of diarrhoea worldwide with at least 100,000 deaths (mostly children in developing world four serogroups: s. dysenteriae causes epidemics whereas s. flexneri and s. sonnei are endemic faeco-oral transmission invades colonic mucosa to cause destructive recto-colitis, fever, cramps and bloody stool
194
Listeria disease.
food borne causes gastroenteritis invasive infection = listeriosis —> infection of the CNS — meningitis and brain accesses etc (only happens in immunocompromised, neonates, elderly, pregnant women and healthy persons who have ingested very large inoculum)
195
Shigella virulence plasmid
has 220kb virulance plasmid that has mxi-spa locus that encodes T3SS and effector proteins Ipa-Ipg VirF responds to pH, 37 degrees C, osmolarity and iron to induce VirB expression with in turn induces T3SS and effectors also regulated by TCSs: osmotic stress (via EnvZ/OmpR) and pH (via CpxAR)
196
Shigella: IpaB and C
bind cholesterol with high affinity and insert into membranes as translocon —> disrupt membrane to allow effector entry
197
Shigella: IpgD
interacts with PIP2 to induces actin rearrangements
198
Shigella: VirA
induces Rac1/Cdc42 dependent actin polymerisation and membrane ruffles
199
Shigella: IpgB1 and B2
act as GEFs for RhoA and Rac respectively to promote remodelling
200
Shigella: IpaA
mediates localised depolymerisation of actin via vinculin —> required to close the phagocytic cup

SopB and SopE interactions in Salmonella
SopB generates PIP3, eventually recruits Arf1. SopE activates Rac1. Together they recruit WAVE.
