How do cytosol-invading bacteria evade LPS ubiquitylation by the host's defence machinery? @felixrandow.bsky.social's group determined that Shigella flexneri uses IpaH1.4 to degrade the LPS ligase RNF213, inhibiting the cell's ubiquitylation abilities. Read more: tinyurl.com/3y4kv2bp #LMBResearch🧪
Comparison of Salmonella and Shigella host cell invasion. Salmonella are targeted by the host E3 ligase RNF213, which ubiquitylates bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), marking bacteria for autophagic destruction. Shigella employs its effector proteins IpaH1.4 - an E3 ubiquitin ligase itself - to ubiquitylate RNF213, leading to its proteasomal degradation and thus preventing the host from tagging Shigella for destruction.Cryo-EM structure showing how the leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain of IpaH1.4 binds to the RING domain of RNF213

If you’re interested in how molecular motors coordinate to power intracellular trafficking events (e.g. endocytosis), I’ve got a PhD position available to study this at vibrant Bristol uni. In this project, we will capture highly dynamic events by #cryoEM, single molecule imaging & cell biology. 🔬❄️🧪
This scheme shows the cargo adaptor FHF in the middle with arrows pointing to distinct microtubule and actin-based motors (dynein-dynactin, KIFC1, KIF1C and myosins V, IX and X as well as Tropomyosin 1). It also shows a link to Rab5 marked early endosomes. The hypothesis is that FHF coordinates multi motor binding at the early stages of endocytosis. The PhD project would address the hierarchy of motor binding and how these motors coordinate to allow the newly formed vesicle to transition from the actin to MT cytoskeletal network.
