InlA-mediated entry of Listeria monocytogenes into host cells

The pathogenic bacteria Listeria monocytogenes can enter host cells through endocytosis triggered by binding of the bacterial cell wall protein internalin (InlA) to the E-cadherin (CDH1) complex at the host cell plasma membrane (Mengaud et al. 1996, Lecuit et al. 1999). Binding of InlA to CDH1, similar to CDH1 engagement during normal cell-to-cell adhesion, triggers activation of the SRC protein tyrosine kinase and phosphorylation of CDH1 and CDH1-bound beta-catenin (CTNNB1) (Fujita et al. 2002, McLachlan et al. 2007, Sousa et al. 2007, Bonazzi et al. 2008). Integrins likely contribute to CDH1-triggered SRC activation, and ERKs (MAPK1 and MAPK3), ROCKs and MLCK may also be involved (Avizienyte et al. 2002, Avizienyte et al. 2004, Martinez-Rico et al. 2010). FAK1 (PTK2), a SRC-regulated protein tyrosine kinase, may contribute to SRC-mediated regulation of CDH1 (Avizienyte et al. 2002).
Phosphorylation of CDH1 and CTNNB1 by SRC creates docking sites for a CBL-like ubiquitin protein ligase Hakai (CBLL1). CBLL1 ubiquitinates SRC-phosphorylated CDH1 and CTNNB1 upon InlA binding, as well as in the context of CDH1-mediated cell-to-cell adhesion, thus triggering CDH1 endocytosis (Fujita et al. 2002, Bonazzi et al. 2008, Mukherjee et al. 2012).
CBLL1 may also undergo SRC-mediated phosphorylation and subsequent autoubiquitination (Fujita et al. 2002).
Both clathrin-mediated and caveolin-mediated endocytosis are implicated in the InlA-mediated entry of Listeria monocytogenes to host cells (Veiga et al. 2007). SRC-mediated phosphorylation of cortactin and the ARP2/3 complex involved in actin polymerization is implicated in CDH1 endocytosis and Listeria monocytogenes internalization (Sousa et al. 2007, Ren et al. 2009).
