Asparagine deprivation mediated by <i>Salmonella</i> asparaginase causes suppression of activation-induced T cell metabolic reprogramming

Abstract excerpt

Salmonellae are pathogenic bacteria that induce immunosuppression by mechanisms that remain largely unknown. Previously, we showed that a putative type II l-asparaginase produced by Salmonella Typhimurium inhibits T cell responses and mediates virulence in a murine model of infection. Here, we report that this putative L-asparaginase exhibits L-asparagine hydrolase activity required for Salmonella Typhimurium to...
