Chlamydia trachomatis replicates within a large vacuole (“inclusion”) that sequesters bacterial components from direct contact with the host cytoplasm. Here, we report that the inclusion is encased in a network of F-actin and intermediate filaments (IF), scaffolding structures that provide mechanical support to metazoan cells, and that these cytoskeletal structures act cooperatively to stabilize the pathogen-containing vacuole. Formation of F-actin at the inclusion was dependent on RhoA and its disruption led to the disassembly of IFs, loss of inclusion integrity and leakage of inclusion contents into the host cytoplasm. In addition, IF proteins were processed by the secreted chlamydial protease CPAF to form filamentous structures at the inclusion surface with altered structural properties. We propose that Chlamydia has co-opted the function of F-actin and IFs to stabilize the inclusion with a dynamic, structural scaffold while minimizing the exposure of inclusion contents to cytoplasmic innate immune surveillance pathways.
