Reverting the mode of action of the mitochondrial FOF1-ATPase by Legionella pneumophila preserves its replication niche

Abstract excerpt

Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires’ disease, a severe pneumonia, injects via a type 4 secretion system (T4SS) more than 300 proteins into macrophages, its main host cell in humans. Certain of these proteins are implicated in reprogramming the metabolism of infected cells by reducing mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) early after infection. Here. we show that despite reduced...
