Escape of Listeria monocytogenes from a Vacuole

  • Chapter
Listeria monocytogenes: Pathogenesis and Host Response

The ability of Listeria monocytogenes to escape from vacuoles of infected cells and subsequently to replicate in the cytosol and spread from cell to cell is one of the distinctive features of this facultative intracellular pathogen. The process of escape is mediated by several proteins that are encoded by genes in the PrfA regulon cluster. These include listeriolysin O, a pore-forming, cholesterol-dependent cytolysin, a phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC), and a broad range phospholipase whose proteolytic activation is mediated by a metalloprotease. These proteins are described and their specific roles in escape from the vacuole are discussed.
