The role of CPAF in chlamydial virulence is justifiably a tangle of confusion. CPAF is a potent and promiscuous cysteine protease capable of cleaving many proteins (Zhong, 2011). Over the 13 years since the original characterization of CPAF in the laboratory of Guaming Zohng (Zhong et al., 2001) chlamydial researchers have contributed a long list of identified CPAF cleavable target proteins of both chlamydial and host origin (A Conrad et al., 2013). However, careful studies by the Tan and Sutterlin group convincingly demonstrated that the majority of CPAF activity in infected cells is actually sequestered in the chlamydial inclusion and that biochemical assays relying on cell homogenization in many cases released the sequestered CPAF allowing degradation of ‘targets’ that would not interact with CPAF under biological conditions (Chen et al., 2012). Thus, the question becomes not what host proteins does CPAF cleave but what host proteins does CPAF have access to and when does it gain this access. New data from the investigation of growth and virulence phenotypes of two mutant strains of chlamydia null for CPAF activity isolated by Emily Snavely in the Valdivia laboratory have added critical observations that have evolved our understanding of the role of CPAF in pathogenesis (Snavely et al., 2014). The Valdivia laboratory observed that CPAF null strains follow the same developmental cycle and produce normal appearing inclusions when compared to isogenic CPAF positive chlamydial strains (Snavely et al., 2014). The CPAF mutants, however, produce approximately threefold less infectious progeny. It is not yet clear at what stage in development this defect lies (Snavely et al., 2014). We had previously demonstrated that Chlamydia trachomatis infection causes genomic instability by inducing the over duplication of centrosomes, causing premature mitotic exit and restricting reorganization of the centrosome/microtubule network (Knowlton et al., 2011; Brown et al., 2012). These phenotypes contribute to chromosome segregation errors leading to cytokinesis failure and multinucleation (Brown et al., 2012). We demonstrated biochemically that both cyclin B1 and securin (two proteins involved in mitotic check point control) could be degraded by CPAF and theorized CPAF to be involved in the induction of genomic instability (Brown et al., 2012). However, the published results from the Tan laboratory demonstrated that the majority of detected cyclin B1 cleavage was due to inclusion lysis during sample handling (Chen et al., 2012). We verified this result, and additionally found that securin degradation was also only observed during sample handling. With the availability of the isogenic CPAF mutant isolates generously shared by the Valdivia laboratory, we directly tested the role of CPAF in genomic instability. Our studies published in the June edition of PlosOne showed that CPAF null strains were deficient in inducing centrosome amplification and early mitotic exit, two critical phenotypes involved in causing genomic instability (Brown et al., 2014). As a result, these strains caused dramatically less multinucleation (Brown et al., 2014). By investigating genomic instability in the GspE chlamydial mutant [isolated and described by the Valdivia laboratory (Nguyen & Valdivia, 2012)] we further demonstrated that secretion through the type II secretion system is required for the CPAF-dependent phenotypes of centrosome amplification and early mitotic exit (Brown et al., 2014).Although we have demonstrated a clear phenotype dependent on CPAF production and secretion from chlamydia, critical questions remain. We have not yet identified the relevant targets of …
