c‐Src/Lyn kinases activate Helicobacter pylori CagA through tyrosine phosphorylation of the EPIYA motifs

Abstract

Summary: The human pathogen Helicobacter pylori colonizes the mucous layer of the stomach. During parasitic infection, freely swimming bacteria adhere to the gastric epithelial cells and trigger intracellular signalling pathways. This process requires the translocation of the effector protein CagA into the host cell through a specialized type IV secretion system encoded in the cag pathogenicity island. Following transfer, CagA is phosphorylated on tyrosine re‐sidues by a host cell kinase. Here, we describe how the tyrosine phosphorylation of CagA is restricted to a previously identified repeated sequence called D1. This sequence is located in the C‐terminal half of the protein and contains the five‐amino‐acid motif EPIYA, which is amplified by duplications in a large fraction of clinical isolates. Tyrosine phosphorylation of CagA is essential for the activation process that leads to dramatic changes in the morphology of cells growing in culture. In addition, we observed that two members of the src kinases family, c‐Src and Lyn, account for most of the CagA‐specific kinase activity in host cell lysates. Thus, CagA translocation followed by tyrosine phosphorylation at the EPIYA motifs promotes a growth factor‐like response with intense cytoskeletal rearrangements, cell elongation effects and increased cellular motility.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
