Making Contact: VAP Targeting by Intracellular Pathogens

Abstract: In naïve cells, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the ER-resident VAP proteins are common components of sites of membrane contacts that mediate the non-vesicular transfer of lipids between organelles. There is increasing recognition that the hijacking of VAP by intracellular pathogens is a novel mechanism of host-pathogen interaction. Here, we summarize our recent findings showing that the Chlamydia inclusion membrane protein IncV tethers the ER to the inclusion membrane by binding to VAP via the molecular mi… Show more

“…As expected, knockdown of ATG12, a key macroautophagy conjugation protein, was associated with a significant decrease in the number of LC3B + bacteria ( Figure 5A ). We also examined a role for OSBPL binding partners VAPA and VAPB, proteins implicated in autophagosome biogenesis [ 40 ] and which are critical for the formation of pathogen-host membrane-contact sites [ 41 ]. A significant reduction in LC3B + Salmonella was observed when OSBPL7, OSBPL11, or VAPA were knocked down, suggesting OSBPL-VAPA interactions are required for recruitment of LC3B to Salmonella ( Figure 5A ).…”

“…The mechanistically best characterized case is Chlamydia trachomatis , which forms a replication-permissive compartment termed inclusion [77]. Intriguingly, the Chlamydia integral membrane proteins IncV and IncD tether the inclusion to the ER [78]. While IncV directly binds Vap on the ER through a FFAT motif [79], IncD indirectly makes contact to Vap through the FFAT motif-containing host protein CERT (ceramide transfer protein) [80, 81].…”

“…For example, low levels of cellular cholesterol can result in endosomes forming MCS with the ER rather than continuing to be trafficked along microtubules (Rocha et al 2009 ). Important for this review, there is increasing evidence that MCS play crucial roles in host pathogen interactions, with both viral (Amako et al 2009 , Roulin et al 2014 , McCune et al 2017 , Ishikawa-Sasaki et al 2018 ) and bacterial pathogens (Auweter et al 2012 , Elwell and Engel 2012 , Derré 2017 , Justis et al 2017 , Stanhope and Derré 2018 , Ende et al 2022 , Vormittag et al 2023 ) using MCS to establish and maintain infection.…”
