Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is one of the leading causes of pediatric diarrhea, contributing to an overall burden of 2 million annual deaths in children in developing regions [1]. EPEC is a prototypic member of a related family of attaching and effacing pathogens that use various virulence protein effectors to hijack the host endocytic components to form pedestal-like structures. Pedestal formation is a hallmark of EPEC pathogenesis. Other than providing an intimate attachment of EPEC to the host cell surface, presumably to avoid being dislocated during the subsequent host response of watery diarrhea, the exact function of pedestals is uncertain. The genome of EPEC contains a pathogenicity island comprising genes that encode proteins required for successful colonization of the host. This island includes genes that code for a type III secretion system (T3SS), bundle-forming pilus, chaperones, regulatory proteins, and the bacterial outer membrane protein intimin, as well as several other effector proteins. EPEC releases these effector proteins to alter the host proteins involved in endocytosis. Host endocytic proteins that have been identified to be targeted by EPEC include clathrin, adaptor protein-2 (AP-2), dynamin-2, Eps15, and a family of epsin proteins [2, 3]. The mechanism of EPEC-mediated usurpation of the host endocytosisassociated proteins and the role these targeted proteins play during pedestal formation are poorly understood. Lin et al [4] report in this issue of the Journal that in addition to clathrin, pedestal formation also requires Eps15 and epsin1 but not AP-2, based on their investigation of the localization of these proteins during EPEC infection of human cell lines. To augment their survival and dissemination, Gram-negative bacteria use the T3SS to introduce virulence effector proteins directly into their eukaryotic host. These highly conserved supramolecular complexes span the bacterial membranes, cross the extracellular space, and penetrate host cell membranes, enabling virulence factors to be translocated directly from the bacterial cytoplasm. Bacterial effector proteins vary in structure and demonstrate a wide range of functions such as induction or prevention of phagocytosis, dampening of the immune system, regulation of the host’s cell cycle, and death. T3SS plays a vital role during infection by EPEC [5], as well as other pathogenic bacteria such as Yersinia spp, Shigella spp, Pseudomonas spp, and Salmonella spp [6]. One of the effector proteins that are crucial in pedestal formation during EPEC infection is the translocated intimin receptor (Tir). Intimate attachment requires the outer bacterial membrane protein intimin [7]. This protein mediates attachment of EPEC to the host cell by binding to Tir, which is translocated into the host cell membrane via the T3SS [8, 9]. Utilization of Tir by EPEC underscores an adaptation strategy of a pathogen injecting its own receptor into its host instead of depending on a hostderived receptor. This strategy perhaps enables EPEC to infect a wide range of species and different tissues. Tir has 2 transmembrane domains with an intervening region that forms an extracellular loop while the N-and C-terminal regions are located within the cell [7]. Intimin binds to the extracellular loop, and this intimin-Tir interaction is essential for pedestal formation and actin filament polymerization [9]. Intimin also binds to host cells in vitro through its C-terminal region in a Tirindependent manner, suggesting that more than one receptor for intimin may be present on host epithelial cells [10]. Tir-intimin binding anchors the pathogen to the epithelial cell surface and recruits host cell kinases to induce Tir
