ABSTRACT
Infectious diseases caused by bacteria have significant impacts on global public
health. During infection, pathogenic bacteria deliver a variety of virulence
factors, called effectors, into host cells. The Shigella effector IpaH9.8
functions as an ubiquitin ligase, ubiquitinating the NF-κB essential modulator
(NEMO)/IKK-γ to inhibit host inflammatory responses. IpaH9.8 contains
leucine-rich repeats (LRRs) involved in substrate recognition and an E3 ligase
domain. To elucidate the structural basis of the function of IpaH9.8, the
crystal structure of the LRR domain of Shigella IpaH9.8 was determined and this
structure was compared with the known structures of other IpaH family members.
This model provides insights into the structural features involved in substrate
specificity.
