| 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}; | |
