- The PTPase YopH of Yersinia is essential to the ability of these bacteria to block phagocytosis. Wild-type Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, but not the yopH mutant strain, resisted phagocytosis by J774 cells. Ingestion of a yopH mutant was dependent on tyrosine kinase activity. Transcomplementation with wild-type yopH restored the anti-phagocytic effect, whereas introduction of the gene encoding the catalytically inactive yopHC403A was without effect. The PTPase inhibitor orthovanadate impaired the anti-phagocytic effect of the wild-type strain, further demonstrating the importance of bacteria-derived PTPase activity for this event. The ability to resist phagocytosis indicates that the effect of the bacterium is immediately exerted when it becomes associated with the phagocyte. Within 30 s after the onset of infection, wild-type Y. pseudotuberculosis caused a YopH-dependent dephosphorylation of phosphotyrosine proteins in J774 cells. Furthermore, interaction of the cells with phagocytosable strains led to a rapid and transient increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin and some other proteins, an event dependent on the presence of the bacterial surface-located protein invasin. Co-infection with the phagocytosable strain and the wild-type strain abolished the induction of tyrosine phosphorylation. Taken together, the present findings demonstrate an immediate YopH-mediated dephosphorylation of macrophage phosphotyrosine proteins, suggesting that this PTPase acts by preventing early phagocytosis-linked signalling in the phagocyte.
