We report the characterization of BopE, a type III secreted protein that is encoded adjacent to the Burkholderia pseudomallei bsa locus and is homologous to Salmonella enterica SopE/SopE2. Inactivation of bopE impaired bacterial entry into HeLa cells, indicating that BopE facilitates invasion. Consistent with this notion, BopE expressed in eukaryotic cells induced rearrangements in the subcortical actin cytoskeleton, and purified BopE exhibited guanine nucleotide exchange factor activity for Cdc42 and Rac1 in vitro.
我们报告了对BopE的特性描述,BopE是一种III型分泌蛋白,其编码基因位于类鼻疽伯克霍尔德菌bsa基因座附近,与肠炎沙门氏菌SopE/SopE2同源。bopE基因的失活损害了细菌进入HeLa细胞的能力,表明BopE促进了细菌的入侵。与此观点一致的是,在真核细胞中表达的BopE诱导了皮层下肌动蛋白细胞骨架的重排,并且纯化的BopE在体外对Cdc42和Rac1表现出鸟嘌呤核苷酸交换因子活性。
