SpvC phosphothreonine lyase activity is critical for inhibiting autophagy in Salmonella Typhimurium infection. (A, B) J774A.1 cells were infected with STM-WT, STM-ΔspvC, STM-ΔspvC/pspvC or STM-ΔspvC/pspvC K136A at an MOI of 10 for 2 h. Cell lysates were analysed by western blot with specific antibodies to LC3 (A), Beclin 1 (B) and the control GAPDH. (C) HeLa cells were infected with STM-WT, STM-ΔspvC or STM-ΔspvC/pspvC at an MOI of 100 after being pretreated with PD0325901. Cell lysates were analysed by western blot with specific antibodies to LC3, Beclin 1 and the control Actin at 0.5 hpi, 2 hpi and 6 hpi. Data were compared by ANOVA. Values are expressed as the means ± S.D., n = 3. Statistically significant differences are indicated. ***P < 0.001; *P < 0.01; ns, not significant.
