Tir, a translocated effector protein from enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), contains two phosphotyrosines that initiate cellular signaling cascades, leading to localized actin polymerization into pedestals. A recent study now shows that two additional tyrosines within Tir recruit the inositol phosphatase SHIP2 to generate a PI(3,4)P2-enriched membrane platform that stabilizes pedestal assembly.
Tir 是肠致病性大肠杆菌(EPEC)的一种易位效应蛋白,含有两个磷酸酪氨酸,可启动细胞信号级联反应,导致局部肌动蛋白聚合形成基脚。最近的一项研究表明,Tir 内的另外两个酪氨酸招募肌醇磷酸酶 SHIP2,产生富含 PI(3,4)P2 的膜平台,稳定基脚组装。
