Protein sequences homologous to SseK1 (UniProt accession: A0A0H3NK84) were identified using BLASTP analysis against the UniProtKB reference proteomes and Swiss-Prot databases. Sequences with an E-value < 0.05 were selected for phylogenetic analysis. The phylogenetic tree was constructed and visualized using the Interactive Tree of Life (iTOL) online tool.

Figure Legend Snippet: Approximately two hours after entering macrophages, Salmonella activates its T3SS-2 to deliver effector proteins, including SseK1, SseK2 and SseK3, into the cytoplasm. Among these effectors, SseK1 uniquely engages UBC9 through its unique lid domain and catalyzes arginine-GlcNAcylation of UBC9 at residue R17. This modification prevents UBC9 from forming the UBC9-SUMO thioester intermediate, thereby blocking SUMO conjugation onto a broad set of antimicrobial substrates and impairing their activity, stability or localization. By blocking this SUMO-dependent arm of the host immune response, Salmonella evades host antimicrobial defenses, thereby promoting its survival and enhancing virulence.
