Covalent coercion by Legionella pneumophila

Abstract

Adenylylation of Rab proteins appears to be an intriguing mechanism that Legionella pneumophila uses to modulate their activity during infection. Now the reverse reaction (deadenylylation) (Neunuebel et al., 2011; Tan and Luo, 2011) and a new posttranslational modification (phosphocholination) of Rab1 (Mukherjee et al., 2011) have been reported.
