UniProt functional annotation for P18014

UniProt code: P18014.

Organism: Shigella flexneri.
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Shigella.
 
Function: E3 ubiquitin ligase effector protein that interferes with host's ubiquitination pathway (PubMed:30872533). Functions to alter host cell physiology and promote bacterial survival in host tissues (PubMed:30872533). Catalyzes ubiquitination of mouse Nlrp1b allele 1 protein, releasing the cleaved C-terminal part of Nlrp1b, which polymerizes and forms the Nlrp1b inflammasome followed by host cell pyroptosis (PubMed:30872533). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:30872533}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=S-ubiquitinyl-[E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme]-L-cysteine + [acceptor protein]-L-lysine = [E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme]-L- cysteine + N(6)-ubiquitinyl-[acceptor protein]-L-lysine.; EC=2.3.2.27; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:30872533};
Subcellular location: Secreted {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:D0ZVG2}. Host cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:D0ZVG2}. Note=Secreted via Mxi-Spa type III secretion system (TTSS), and delivered into the host cytoplasm. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:D0ZVG2}.
Domain: The LRR (leucine-rich repeat) domain forms a slightly curved solenoid and may mediate interaction with target proteins. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:D0ZPH9}.
Ptm: Ubiquitinated in the presence of host E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme, E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme and ubiquitin. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:D0ZPH9}.
Similarity: Belongs to the LRR-containing bacterial E3 ligase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=AAA26526.1; Type=Frameshift; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
