Working model of K. pneumoniae strategies to decrease SUMOylation in epithelial cells and macrophages. In epithelial cells, Kp52145 activates the signalling pathway EGFR-PI3K-AKT-ERK-GSK3β to increase the COP9 signalosome component CSN5 which inhibits NEDDylation of Cullin-1 and prevents proteasomal degradation of SENP2. SENP2 then accumulates in the cytosol preventing SUMOylation. In macrophages, Kp52145 via TLR4-TRAM-TRIF induces the production of type-I interferon, which signals through the IFNAR1 receptor. Type-I interferon stimulates transcription of the miRNA let-7 which prevents SUMOylation. Both strategies lead to increased intracellular survival and subversion of host responses.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Working model of K. pneumoniae strategies to decrease SUMOylation in epithelial cells and macrophages. In epithelial cells, Kp52145 activates the signalling pathway EGFR-PI3K-AKT-ERK-GSK3β to increase the COP9 signalosome component CSN5 which inhibits NEDDylation of Cullin-1 and prevents proteasomal degradation of SENP2. SENP2 then accumulates in the cytosol preventing SUMOylation. In macrophages, Kp52145 via TLR4-TRAM-TRIF induces the production of type-I interferon, which signals through the IFNAR1 receptor. Type-I interferon stimulates transcription of the miRNA let-7 which prevents SUMOylation. Both strategies lead to increased intracellular survival and subversion of host responses.
