Remodeling of host glycoproteins during bacterial infection

Protein glycosylation is a common post-translational modification found in all living organisms and the modification in bacterial pathogens has a pivotal role in their infectious processes including pathogenicity, immune evasion, and host-pathogen interactions. Importantly, many key proteins of host immune systems are also glycosylated and bacterial pathogens notably modulate glycosylation on these host proteins to facilitate pathogenesis through the induction of abnormal host protein activity and abundance. In recent years, there is an increased interest in studying the regulation of host protein glycosylation caused by bacterial pathogens to fully understand bacterial pathogenesis. In this review, we focus on how bacterial pathogens regulate remodeling of host glycoproteins during infections to promote the pathogenesis.
