Crystal structure of the C-terminal domain of Shigella type III effector IpaH9.8, with a novel domain swap
Structural highlights
Function[IPA9_SHIFL] Effector proteins function to alter host cell physiology and promote bacterial survival in host tissues. This protein is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that interferes with host's ubiquitination pathway and modulates the acute inflammatory responses, thus facilitating bacterial colonization within the host cell. Interacts with IKBKG (NEMO) and TNIP1 (ABIN-1), an ubiquitin-binding adapter protein, which results in TNIP1-dependent 'Lys-27'-linked polyubiquitination of IKBKG. Consequently, polyubiquitinated IKBKG undergoes proteasome-dependent degradation, which perturbs NF-kappa-B activation during bacterial infection. Uses UBE2D2 (UBCH5B) as an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme.[1] [2] [3] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedWe show that the monomeric form of Shigella IpaH9.8 E3 ligase catalyses the ubiquitination of human U2AF35 in vitro, providing a molecular mechanism for the observed in vivo effect. We further discover that under non-reducing conditions IpaH9.8 undergoes a domain swap driven by the formation of a disulfide bridge involving the catalytic cysteine and that this dimer is unable to catalyse the ubiquitination of U2AF35. The crystal structure of the domain-swapped dimer is presented. The redox inactivation of IpaH9.8 could be a mechanism of regulating the activity of the IpaH9.8 E3 ligase in response to cell damage so that the host cell in which the bacteria resides is maintained in a benign state suitable for bacterial survival. A disulfide driven domain swap switches off the activity of Shigella IpaH9.8 E3 ligase.,Seyedarabi A, Sullivan JA, Sasakawa C, Pickersgill RW FEBS Lett. 2010 Oct 8;584(19):4163-8. Epub 2010 Sep 8.
