Pathogen signatures activate a ubiquitinylation pathway that modulates function of the metabolic checkpoint kinase mTOR

The mammalian immune system has the ability to discriminate between pathogenic and non-pathogenic microbes to control inflammation. Here we investigated ubiquitinylation profiles of host proteins after infection of macrophages with a virulent strain of the intracellular bacterium Legionella pneumoph...

Article The mammalian immune system has the ability to discriminate between pathogenic and non-pathogenic microbes to control inflammation. Here we investigated ubiquitinylation profiles of host proteins after infection of macrophages with a virulent strain of the intracellular bacterium Legionella pneumophila and a non-pathogenic mutant. Only infection with pathogenic Legionella resulted in ubiquitinylation of positive regulators of the metabolic checkpoint kinase mTOR leading to diminished mTOR activity. Detection of pathogen signatures resulted in translational biasing to proinflammatory cytokines through mTOR-mediated regulation of cap-dependent translation. Thus, there is a pathogen detection program in macrophages that stimulates protein ubiquitinylation and degradation of mTOR regulators, which suppresses mTOR function and directs a proinflammatory cytokine program. 2013-10-13 2013-12 /pmc/articles/PMC3839319/ /pubmed/24121838 http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/ni.2740 Text en Users may view, print, copy, download and text and data- mine the content in such documents, for the purposes of academic research, subject always to the full Conditions of use: http://www.nature.com/authors/editorial_policies/license.html#terms
