CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE SALMONELLA TYROSINE PHOSPHATASE AND GTPASE ACTIVATING PROTEIN SPTP BOUND TO RAC1

Overview

Salmonella spp. utilize a specialized protein secretion system to deliver, a battery of effector proteins into host cells. Several of these effectors, stimulate Cdc42- and Rac1-dependent cytoskeletal changes that promote, bacterial internalization. These potentially cytotoxic alterations are, rapidly reversed by the effector SptP, a tyrosine phosphatase and GTPase, activating protein (GAP) that targets Cdc42 and Rac1. The 2.3 A resolution, crystal structure of an SptP-Rac1 transition state complex reveals an, unusual GAP architecture that mimics host functional homologs. The, phosphatase domain possesses a conserved active site but distinct surface, properties. Binding to Rac1 induces a dramatic stabilization in SptP of a, four-helix bundle that makes extensive contacts with the Switch I and, Switch II regions of the GTPase.
