Cryo-EM structure revealed a novel F-actin binding motif in a Legionella pneumophila lysine fatty-acyltransferase

Wenjie W Zeng, Garrison Komaniecki, Jiaze Liu, Hening Lin, Yuxin Mao

The paper identifies a novel F-actin binding motif in Lfat1, a Legionella effector, using cryo-EM and shows its lysine fatty-acyltransferase activity.

Membrane-dependent actin polymerization mediated by the Legionella pneumophila effector protein MavH

Qing Hua Zhang, Min Wan, Elena Kudryashova, Dmitri S. Kudryashov, Yuxin Mao

This study identifies MavH as a Legionella effector that promotes membrane-dependent actin polymerization by interacting with PI(3)P and host actin capping proteins.
