Protein adenylyltransferase and cysteine protease IbpA

UniProtKB accession:  Q06277

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Adenylyltransferase involved in virulence by mediating the addition of adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) to specific tyrosine residue of host Rho GTPases RhoA, Rac and Cdc42. The resulting AMPylation inactivates Rho GTPases, thereby inhibiting actin assembly in infected cells. Probably also acts as a cysteine protease, which may play a central role after invasion of host cell and in virulence. Possible member (with IbpB) of a 2 partner secretion. Probably able to bind bovine epithelial cells (host cells). May participate in the formation of fibrils at the surface of the bacteria.
