Fha Interaction with Phosphothreonine of TssL Activates Type VI Secretion in

English version České info

The bacterial type VI secretion system (T6SS) resembles a contractile phage tail structure and functions to deliver effectors to eukaryotic or prokaryotic target cells for the survival of many pathogenic bacteria. T6SS is highly regulated by various regulatory systems at multiple levels in response to environmental cues. Post-translational regulation via threonine (Thr) phosphorylation is an emerging theme in regulating prokaryotic signaling, including T6SS; the knowledge is mainly contributed by studies of Hcp secretion island 1-encoded T6SS (H1-T6SS) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Here, we discover a new phosphorylated target, a T6SS core-component TssL, and demonstrate that this Thr phosphorylation event post-translationally regulates type VI secretion in a plant pathogenic bacterium, Agrobacterium tumefaciens. We provide the first demonstration that the specific binding of Fha, a forkhead-associated domain-containing protein, to the phosphorylated target is required to stimulate type VI secretion. Genetic and biochemical data strongly suggest an ordered TssL-phosphorylation–dependent assembly and secretion pathway.
