The Salmonella outer membrane protein Rck mediates a Zipper-like entry mechanism controlled by Rac, the Arp2/3 complex, and actin polymerization. However, little is known about the early steps leading to Rac activation and Rck-mediated internalization. The use of pharmacological inhibitors or PI 3-kinase dominant-negative mutant induced more than 80% less invasion without affecting attachment. Moreover, Rck-mediated internalization caused an increase in the association of p85 with at least one tyrosine-phosphorylated protein, indicating that class I PI 3-kinase activity was stimulated. We also report that this PI 3-kinase activity is essential for Rac1 activation. However, Rac recruitment at the Rck-mediated entry site was independent of its activation. Using a pharmacological approach or Akt-knockout cells, we also demonstrated that Akt was phosphorylated in response to Rck-mediated internalization as demonstrated by immunoblotting analysis and that all three Akt isoforms were required during this process. Overall, our results describe a signaling pathway involving tyrosine phosphorylation, class I PI 3-kinase, Akt activation, and Rac activation, leading to Rck-dependent Zipper entry. The specificity of this signaling pathway with regard to that of the type 3 secretion system, which is the other invasion process of Salmonella, is discussed.-Mijouin, L., Rosselin, M., Bottreau, E., Pizarro-Cerda, J., Cossart, P., Velge, P., Wiedemann, A. Salmonella enteritidis Rck-mediated invasion requires activation of Rac1, which is dependent on the class I PI 3-kinases-Akt signaling pathway. FASEB J. 26, 1569-1581 (2012). www.fasebj.org
