Quantitative Dextran Trafficking to the Coxiella burnetii Parasitophorous Vacuole.
Current Protocols in Microbiology 2017 August 12
The gram-negative bacterium Coxiella burnetii causes human Q fever, a disease characterized by a debilitating flu-like illness in acute cases and endocarditis in chronic patients. An obligate intracellular pathogen, Coxiella burnetii survives within a large, lysosome-like vacuole inside the host cell. A unique feature of the Coxiella parasitophorous vacuole (PV) is high levels of fusion with the host endocytic pathway, with PV-endosome fusion critical for Coxiella survival within the host cell. This unit describes quantitating PV-endosome fusion by measuring delivery of the fluid phase endosome marker dextran to the PV using live cell imaging. To study the effect of host cell proteins involved in PV-endosome fusion, details are provided for using siRNA knockdown host cells. This method is a powerful tool for understanding mechanisms underlying Coxiella's ability to manipulate host cell trafficking pathways. © 2017 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
