Chlamydia pneumoniae inclusion membrane protein Cpn0147 interacts with host protein CREB3.


ABSTRACT: Chlamydiae are Gram-negative obligate intracellular bacteria that cause diseases with significant medical and economic impacts. Like other chlamydial species, Chlamydia pneumoniae possesses a unique developmental cycle, the infectious elementary body gains access to the susceptible host cell, where it transforms into the replicative reticulate body. The cytoplasmic vacuole where Chlamydia pneumoniae replicates is called an inclusion, which is extensively modified by the insertion of chlamydial effectors known as inclusion membrane proteins (Incs). The C. pneumoniae-specific inclusion membrane protein (Inc) Cpn0147 contains domains that are predicted to be exposed to the host cytoplasm. To map host cell binding partners of Cpn0147, a yeast two-hybrid system was used to screen Cpn0147 against a HeLa cell cDNA library, which led to the finding that Cpn0147 interacted with the host cell protein cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-responsive element (CRE)-binding protein (CREB3). The interaction was validated by co-immunoprecipitation of Cpn0147 with CREB3 from HeLa cells ectopically expressing both. Furthermore, Cpn0147 and CREB3 were co-localised in HeLa cells under confocal fluorescence microscopy. The above observations suggest that CREB3 may directly bind to the cytoplasmic domain of Cpn0147 to mediate the interactions of chlamydial inclusions with host cell endoplasmic reticulum.
