Popis: Significance We describe a mechanism by which the obligate intracellular pathogen Chlamydia pneumoniae induces curvature of the host-cell plasma membrane and recruits a central component of the endocytotic machinery. We demonstrate that a type III-secreted C. pneumoniae effector protein named CPn0678 binds via its N-terminal amphipathic helix to negatively charged phospholipids in the inner leaflet of the host plasma membrane at the site of entry, and induces membrane curvature. Its proline-rich region then recruits SNX9 (sorting nexin 9), a key regulator of endocytosis, and the complex facilitates uptake of C. pneumoniae into host cells.
During invasion of host cells, Chlamydia pneumoniae secretes the effector protein CPn0678, which facilitates internalization of the pathogen by remodeling the target cell’s plasma membrane and recruiting sorting nexin 9 (SNX9), a central multifunctional endocytic scaffold protein. We show here that the strongly amphipathic N-terminal helix of CPn0678 mediates binding to phospholipids in both the plasma membrane and synthetic membranes, and is sufficient to induce extensive membrane tubulations. CPn0678 interacts via its conserved C-terminal polyproline sequence with the Src homology 3 domain of SNX9. Thus, SNX9 is found at bacterial entry sites, where C. pneumoniae is internalized via EGFR-mediated endocytosis. Moreover, depletion of human SNX9 significantly reduces internalization, whereas ectopic overexpression of CPn0678–GFP results in a dominant-negative effect on endocytotic processes in general, leading to the uptake of fewer chlamydial elementary bodies and diminished turnover of EGFR. Thus, CPn0678 is an early effector involved in regulating the endocytosis of C. pneumoniae in an EGFR- and SNX9-dependent manner.
