Salmonella enterica is a facultative intracellular pathogen that is able to modify host cell functions by means of effector proteins translocated by the type III secretion system (T3SS) encoded by Salmonella Pathogenicity Island 2 (SPI2). The SPI2-T3SS is also active in Salmonella after uptake by murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BM-DC). We have previously shown that intracellular Salmonella interfere with the ability of BM-DC to stimulate antigen-dependent T-cell proliferation in an SPI2-T3SS-dependent manner. We observed that Salmonella-mediated inhibition of antigen presentation could be restored by external addition of peptides on major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II). The processing of antigens in Salmonella-infected cells was not altered; however, the intracellular loading of peptides on MHC-II was reduced as a function of the SPI2-T3SS. We set out to identify the effector proteins of the SPI2-T3SS involved in inhibition of antigen presentation and demonstrated that effector proteins SifA, SspH2, SlrP, PipB2, and SopD2 were equally important for the interference with antigen presentation, whereas SseF and SseG contributed to a lesser extent to this phenotype. These observations indicate the presence of a host cell-specific virulence function of a novel subset of SPI2-effector proteins.
