Abstract The intracellular bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila modulates host cell functions by secreting multiple effectors with diverse biochemical activities. In particular, of the SidE family interfere protein ubiquitination in a process that involves production phosphoribosyl ubiquitin (PR-Ub). Here, we show effector LnaB converts PR-Ub into ADP-ribosylated ubiquitin, which is further processed to ADP-ribose and functional (ADP-ribosyl)hydrolase MavL, thus maintaining homeostasis infected cells. Upon being activated actin, also undergoes self-AMPylation on tyrosine residues. activity requires motif consisting Ser, His Glu (SHxxxE) present large toxins from pathogens. Thus, our study sheds light mechanisms maintains identifies enzymes capable AMPylation.
