Abstract

Salmonella inhibits the adaptive immune response by reducing cell surface levels of mature MHC class II. Alix et al. reveal that the Salmonella effector SteD co-opts TMEM127, a tumor suppressor protein of previously unknown function. TMEM127 binds the E3 ubiquitin ligase WWP2 enabling ubiquitination and degradation of MHCII and SteD.
