The Dot/Icm type IV secretion system of L. pneumophila translocates numerous bacterial effectors into the host cell and is essential for bacterial proliferation within macrophages and protozoa. We have recently shown that L. pneumophila strain AA100/130b harbors 11 genes encoding eukaryotic-like ankyrin (Ank) proteins, a family of proteins involved in various essential eukaryotic cellular processes. In contrast to most Dot/Icm-exported substrates, which have little or no detectable role in intracellular proliferation, a mutation in ankB results in a severe growth defect in intracellular replication within human monocyte-derived macrophages (hMDMs), U937 macrophages, and Acanthamoeba polyphaga. Single cell analyses of co-infections of hMDMs have shown that the intracellular growth defect of the ankB mutant is totally rescued in-cis within communal phagosomes harboring the wild type strain. Interestingly, distinct from dot/icm structural mutants, the ankB mutant is also rescued in-trans within cells harboring the wild type strain in a different phagosome, indicating that AnkB is a transacting secreted effector. Using adenylate cyclase fusions to AnkB, we show that AnkB is translocated into the host cell via the Dot/Icm secretion system in an IcmSW-dependent manner, and that the last 3 C-terminal amino acid residues are essential for translocation. Distinct from the dot/icm structural mutants, the ankB mutant-containing phagosomes exclude late endosomal and lysosomal markers and their phagosomes are remodeled by the RER. We show that at the post exponential phase of growth, the LetA/S and PmrA/B two component systems confer a positive regulation on expression of the ankB gene, whereas RpoS, LetE, and RelA suppress its expression. Our data show that the eukaryotic-like AnkB protein is a Dot/Icm-exported effector that plays a major role in intracellular replication of L. pneumophila within macrophages and protozoa, and its expression is temporally controlled by regulators of the post-exponential phase of growth.
