Poly-ubiquitination is a trigger of selective autophagy for clearance of injured mitochondria and aggregates derived from denatured proteins. Some of intracellular bacteria are also ubiquitinated and then eliminated by selective autophagy in the same manner. In this study, we attempted to identify the ubiquitination mechanisms of ActA-deficient Listeria monocytogenes (delta actA). A total of 29 candidates (2 listerial and 27 host proteins) were identified by LC-MS/MS analysis. E3 is known to be playing an important role for ubiquitination of other intracellular bacteria, such as Salmonella and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. There were 3 kinds of ubiquitin ligases (E3) in the host candidates. We therefore analyzed the localization of E3s in the cells infected with delta actA. As a result, E3-1 was accumulated around the bacterial cells 1 hour postinfection simultaneously with starting point of the delta actA ubiquitination.
