The <i>Salmonella</i> LysR family regulator, RipR, activates the SPI-13 encoded itaconate degradation cluster

2019-05-24

Abstract excerpt

Itaconate is a dicarboxylic acid that inhibits the isocitrate lyase enzyme of the bacterial glyoxylate shunt. Activated macrophages have been shown to produce itaconate, suggesting that these immune cells may employ this metabolite as a weapon against invading bacteria. Here we demonstrate that, in vitro , itaconate can exhibit bactericidal effects under acidic conditions similar to the pH of a macrophage phagoso...
