Legionella pneumophila is the causative agent of a form of pneumonia called legionellosis or Legionnaires’ disease. Between 2012 and 2015, the reported European cases of legionellosis increased from 5,848 to 7,069 cases per year where France, Germany, Italy and Spain accounted for 69% of the reported cases. Worryingly, the case fatality of incidents was 8.2% making this disease a considerable health concern. One virulence factor produced by this bacterium is a large protein (~700 kDa) belonging to the RTX (Repeats in ToXin) family called RtxA secreted by the type 1 secretion system. The hereby work reveals that, in vitro, LapG periplasmic protease cleaves RtxA N-terminus in the middle of a di-alanine motif (a.a. 108-109). We also show using...
