Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is a major cause of human gastrointestinal illness worldwide. This pathogen can persist in a wide range of environments, making it of great concern to public health. Here, we report that the salmonella pathogenicity island (SPI)-1 effector protein SipB exhibits a membrane topology that confers bacterial osmotolerance. Disruption of the sipB gene or the invG gene (SPI-1 component) significantly reduced the osmotolerance of S. Typhimurium LT2. Biochemical assays showed that NaCl osmolarity increased the membrane topology of SipB, and a neutralising antibody against SipB reduced osmotolerance in the WT strain. The WT strain, but not the sipB mutant, exhibited elevated cyclopropane fatty acid C19:0 during conditions of osmotic stress, correlating with the observed levels of survival and membrane integrity. This result suggests a link between SipB and the altered fatty acid composition induced upon exposure to osmotic stress. Overall, our findings provide the first evidence that the Salmonella virulence translocon SipB affects membrane fluidity and alters bacterial osmotolerance. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc.
