The p21-activated kinase (PAK) family regulate a multitude of cellular processes, including actin cytoskeleton remodelling. Numerous bacterial pathogens usurp host signalling pathways that regulate actin reorganisation in order to promote Infection. Salmonella and pathogenic Escherichia coli drive actin-dependent forced uptake and intimate attachment respectively. We demonstrate that the pathogen-driven generation of both these distinct actin structures relies on the recruitment and activation of PAK. We show that the PAK kinase domain is dispensable for this actin remodelling, which instead requires the GTPase-binding CRIB and the central poly-proline rich region. PAK interacts with and inhibits the guanine nucleotide exchange factor β-PIX, preventing it from exerting a negative effect on cytoskeleton reorganisation. This kinase-independent function of PAK may be usurped by other pathogens that modify host cytoskeleton signalling and helps us better understand how PAK functions in normal and diseased eukaryotic cells. Many bacterial pathogens drive infection by remodelling the host cell actin cytoskeleton, and p21 activated kinases (PAK’s) are well known to be involved in modulating actin dynamics. Salmonella and EPEC generate very different actin structures in order to promote either invasion into or attachment onto host cells. Here we show that both bacteria hi-jack the same PAK signalling pathway to achieve this. PAK’s crucial role is independent of its kinase activity, and instead relies on its ability to interact the host guanine nucleotide exchange factor β-PIX. PAK binding negates the inhibitory effect β-PIX has on the bacterial driven-actin remodelling that permits either invasion or attachment. This is a novel kinase-independent function for PAK that is likely used by many other bacterial and viral pathogens that target host actin cytoskeleton signalling.
