| Abstract | Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus (GAS)) is a pathogen that invades non-phagocytic host cells, and causes a variety of acute infections such as pharyngitis. Our group previously reported that intracellular GAS is effectively degraded by the host-cell autophagic machinery, and that a cholesterol-dependent cytolysin, streptolysin O (SLO), is associated with bacterial escape from endosomes in epithelial cells. However, the details of both the intracellular behavior of GAS and the process leading to its autophagic degradation remain unknown. In this study, we found that two host small G proteins, Rab5 and Rab7, were associated with the pathway of autophagosome formation and the fate of intracellular GAS. Rab5 was involved in bacterial invasion and endosome fusion. Rab7 was clearly multifunctional, with roles in bacterial invasion, endosome maturation, and autophagosome formation. In addition, this study showed that the bacterial cytolysin SLO supported the escape of GAS into the cytoplasm from endosomes, and surprisingly, a SLO-deficient mutant of GAS was viable longer than the wild-type strain although it failed to escape the endosomes. This intracellular behavior of GAS is unique and distinct from that of other types of bacterial invaders. Our results provide a new picture of GAS infection and host-cell responses in epithelial cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
