    Abstract The gram-negative bacterium, Legionella pneumophila is known to manipulate the host cellular functions. L. pneumophila secretes bacterial proteins called Legionella effectors into the host cytosol that are necessary for these manipulations. The Legionella effector Lpg1137 was identified as a serine protease responsible for the degradation of syntaxin 17 (Stx17). However, how Lpg1137 specifically recognizes and degrades Stx17 remained unknown. Given that Stx17 is localized in the ER, mitochondria-associated membrane (MAM), and mitochondria, Lpg1137 likely distributes to these compartments to recognize Stx17. Here, we show that the C-terminal region of Lpg1137 binds to phosphatidic acid (PA), a MAM and mitochondria-enriched phospholipid, and that this binding is required for the correct intracellular distribution of Lpg1137. Two basic residues in the C-terminal region of Lpg1137 are required for PA binding and their mutation causes mislocalization of Lpg1137. This mutant also fails to degrade Stx17 while retaining protease activity. Taken together, our data reveal that Lpg1137 utilizes PA for its distribution to the membranous compartments in which Stx17 is localized.

    Abstract Mitochondria are powerhouses and central to metabolism in cells. They are highly dynamic organelles that continuously fuse, divide, and move along the cytoskeleton to form the mitochondrial network. The fusion and fission are catalyzed by four dynamin-related GTPases in mammals that are controlled by a variety of protein-protein interactions and posttranslational modifications. Mitochondrial dynamics and metabolism are linked and regulate each other. Starvation induces mitochondrial elongation, which enables the mitochondria to produce energy more efficiently and to escape from autophagic degradation. Damaged portions of mitochondria are removed from the healthy parts by division, and subsequently degraded via a specific mode of autophagy termed mitophagy. Recent studies shed light on the contribution of the endoplasmic reticulum to mitochondrial dynamics and the cooperation of the two organelles for the progression of autophagy including mitophagy. A subdomain of the endoplasmic reticulum apposed to mitochondria is called the mitochondria-associated membrane (MAM), which comprises a unique set of proteins that interact with mitochondrial proteins. Here we review our current understanding of the molecular mechanisms of mitochondrial dynamics and mitochondria-related processes in the context of the interaction with the endoplasmic reticulum.

    Abstract Pathogens subvert host defense systems including autophagy and apoptosis for their survival and proliferation. Legionella pneumophila is a Gram-negative bacterium that grows in alveolar macrophages and causes severe pneumonia. Early during infection Legionella secretes effector proteins that convert the plasma membrane-derived vacuole containing Legionella into an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-like replicative vacuole. These vacuoles ultimately fuse with the ER, where the pathogen replicates. Recently, we showed that one of the effectors, Lpg1137, is a serine protease that targets the mitochondria-associated ER membrane (MAM) and degrades STX17 (syntaxin 17), a SNARE implicated in macroautophagy/autophagy as well as mitochondria dynamics and membrane trafficking in fed cells. Degradation of STX17 blocks autophagy and BAX-induced apoptosis.

    Abstract The microtubule-associated protein MAP1B has been implicated in axonal growth and brain development. We found that MAP1B is highly expressed in the most aggressive and deadliest breast cancer subtype, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), but not in other subtypes. Expression of MAP1B was found to be highly correlated with poor prognosis. Depletion of MAP1B in TNBC cells impairs cell migration and invasion concomitant with a defect in tumorigenesis. We found that MAP1B interacts with key components for invadopodia formation, cortactin, and Tks5, the latter of which is a PtdIns(3,4)P2-binding and scaffold protein that localizes to invadopodia. We also found that Tks5 associates with microtubules and supports the association between MAP1B and α-tubulin. In accordance with their interaction, depletion of MAP1B leads to Tks5 destabilization, leading to its degradation via the autophagic pathway. Collectively, these findings suggest that MAP1B is a convergence point of the cytoskeleton to promote malignancy in TNBC and thereby a potential diagnostic and therapeutic target for TNBC.

    Abstract The intracellular bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila uses many effector proteins delivered by the bacterial type IV secretion system (T4SS) to hijack the early secretory pathway to establish its replicative niche, known as the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV). On LCV biogenesis, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) vesicular soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (v-SNARE) Sec22b is recruited to the bacterial phagosome and forms non-canonical pairings with target membrane SNAREs (t-SNAREs) from the plasma membrane. Here, we identify a Legionella deubiquitinase (DUB), LotB, that can modulate the early secretory pathway by interacting with coatomer protein complex I (COPI) vesicles when ectopically expressed. We show that Sec22b is ubiquitinated upon L. pneumophila infection in a T4SS-dependent manner and that, subsequently, LotB deconjugates K63-linked ubiquitins from Sec22b. The DUB activity of LotB stimulates dissociation of the t-SNARE syntaxin 3 (Stx3) from Sec22b, which resides on the LCV. Our study highlights a bacterial strategy manipulating the dynamics of infection-induced SNARE pairing using a bacterial DUB.

    Abstract Legionella pneumophila (L. pneumophila) is a gram-negative bacterium that replicates in a compartment that resembles the host endoplasmic reticulum (ER). To create its replicative niche, L. pneumophila manipulates host membrane traffic and fusion machineries. Bacterial proteins called Legionella effectors are translocated into the host cytosol and play a crucial role in these processes. In an early stage of infection, Legionella subverts ER-derived vesicles (ERDVs) by manipulating GTPase Rab1 to facilitate remodeling of the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV). Subsequently, the LCV associates with the ER in a mechanism that remains elusive. In this study, we show that L. pneumophila recruits GTPases Rab33B and Rab6A, which regulate vesicle trafficking from the Golgi to the ER, to the LCV to promote the association of LCV with the ER. We found that recruitment of Rab6A to the LCV depends on Rab33B. Legionella effector SidE family proteins, which phosphoribosyl-ubiquitinate Rab33B, were found to be necessary for the recruitment of Rab33B to the LCV. Immunoprecipitation experiments revealed that L. pneumophila facilitates the interaction of Rab6 with ER-resident SNAREs comprising syntaxin 18, p31, and BNIP1, but not tethering factors including NAG, RINT-1, and ZW10, which are normally required for syntaxin 18-mediated fusion of Golgi-derived vesicles with the ER. Our results identified a Rab33B-Rab6A cascade on the LCV and the interaction of Rab6 with ER-resident SNARE proteins for the association of LCV with the ER and disclosed the unidentified physiological role of SidE family proteins.

    Abstract The yeast Dsl1 complex, which comprises Dsl1, Tip20, and Sec39/Dsl3, has been shown to participate, as a vesicle-tethering complex, in retrograde trafficking from the Golgi apparatus to the endoplasmic reticulum. Its metazoan counterpart NRZ complex, which comprises NAG, RINT1, and ZW10, is also involved in Golgi-to-ER retrograde transport, but each component of the complex has diverse cellular functions including endosome-to-Golgi transport, cytokinesis, cell cycle checkpoint, autophagy, and mRNA decay. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of the metazoan NRZ complex and discuss the "moonlighting" functions and intercorrelation of their subunits.
