Abstract

The intracellular bacterial pathogen, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. typhimurium), causes disease in a variety of hosts. To invade and replicate in host cells, these bacteria subvert host molecular machinery using bacterial proteins, called effectors, which they translocate into host cells using specialized protein delivery systems. One of these effectors, SopD, contributes to gastroenteritis, systemic virulence and persistence of S. typhimurium in animal models of infection. Recently, SopD has been implicated in invasion of polarized epithelial cells and here we investigate the features of SopD-mediated invasion. We show that SopD plays a role in membrane fission and macropinosome formation during S. typhimurium invasion, events previously shown to be mediated by the SopB effector. We further demonstrate that SopD acts cooperatively with SopB to promote these events during invasion. Using live cell imaging we show that a SopD-GFP fusion does not localize to HeLa cell cytosol as previously described, but instead is membrane associated. Upon S. typhimurium infection of these cells, SopD-GFP is recruited to the invasion site, and this recruitment required the phosphatase activity of SopB. Our findings demonstrate a role for SopD in manipulation of host-cell membrane during S. typhimurium invasion and reveal the nature of its cooperative action with SopB.
