Shigella hijacks the glomulin-cIAPs-inflammasome axis to promote inflammation.

ABSTRACT: Shigella deploys a unique mechanism to manipulate macrophage pyroptosis by delivering the IpaH7.8 E3 ubiquitin ligase via its type III secretion system. IpaH7.8 ubiquitinates glomulin (GLMN) and elicits its degradation, thereby inducing inflammasome activation and pyroptotic cell death of macrophages. Here, we show that GLMN specifically binds cellular inhibitor of apoptosis proteins 1 and 2 (cIAP1 and cIAP2), members of the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) family of RING-E3 ligases, which results in reduced E3 ligase activity, and consequently inflammasome-mediated death of macrophages. Importantly, reducing the levels of GLMN in macrophages via IpaH7.8, or siRNA-mediated knockdown, enhances inflammasome activation in response to infection by Shigella, Salmonella, or Pseudomonas, stimulation with NLRP3 inflammasome activators (including SiO2, alum, or MSU), or stimulation of the AIM2 inflammasome by poly dA:dT GLMN binds specifically to the RING domain of both cIAPs, which inhibits their self-ubiquitination activity. These findings suggest that GLMN is a negative regulator of cIAP-mediated inflammasome activation, and highlight a unique Shigella stratagem to kill macrophages, promoting severe inflammation.

Project description:When nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptors (NLRs) sense cytosolic-invading bacteria, they induce the formation of inflammasomes and initiate an innate immune response. In quiescent cells, inflammasome activity is tightly regulated to prevent excess inflammation and cell death. Many bacterial pathogens provoke inflammasome activity and induce inflammatory responses, including cell death, by delivering type III secreted effectors, the rod component flagellin, and toxins. Recent studies indicated that Shigella deploy multiple mechanisms to stimulate NLR inflammasomes through type III secretion during infection. Here, we show that Shigella induces rapid macrophage cell death by delivering the invasion plasmid antigen H7.8 (IpaH7.8) enzyme 3 (E3) ubiquitin ligase effector via the type III secretion system, thereby activating the NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) and NLR family CARD domain-containing 4 (NLRC4) inflammasomes and caspase-1 and leading to macrophage cell death in an IpaH7.8 E3 ligase-dependent manner. Mice infected with Shigella possessing IpaH7.8, but not with Shigella possessing an IpaH7.8 E3 ligase-null mutant, exhibited enhanced bacterial multiplication. We defined glomulin/flagellar-associated protein 68 (GLMN) as an IpaH7.8 target involved in IpaH7.8 E3 ligase-dependent inflammasome activation. This protein originally was identified through its association with glomuvenous malformations and more recently was described as a member of a Cullin ring ligase inhibitor. Modifying GLMN levels through overexpression or knockdown led to reduced or augmented inflammasome activation, respectively. Macrophages stimulated with lipopolysaccharide/ATP induced GLMN puncta that localized with the active form of caspase-1. Macrophages from GLMN(+/-) mice were more responsive to inflammasome activation than those from GLMN(+/+) mice. Together, these results highlight a unique bacterial adaptation that hijacks inflammasome activation via interactions between IpaH7.8 and GLMN.
