*Salmonella* utilizes translocated virulence proteins (termed effectors) to promote host cell invasion. The effector SopD contributes to invasion by promoting scission of the plasma membrane, generating *Salmonella*-containing vacuoles. SopD is expressed in all *Salmonella* lineages and plays important roles in animal models of infection, but its host cell targets are unknown. Here we show that SopD can bind to and inhibit the small GTPase Rab10, through a C-terminal GTPase activating protein (GAP) domain. During infection, Rab10 and its effectors MICAL-L1 and EHBP1 are recruited to invasion sites. By inhibiting Rab10, SopD promotes removal of Rab10 and recruitment of Dynamin-2 to drive scission of the plasma membrane. Together, our study uncovers an important role for Rab10 in regulating plasma membrane scission and identifies the mechanism used by a bacterial pathogen to manipulate this function during infection.

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is an intracellular bacterial pathogen and a major cause of foodborne gastroenteritis in humans¹. S. Typhimurium is capable of invading and replicating in a wide variety of cell types, by using type 3 secretion systems (T3SSs) to translocate virulence factors called effectors into host cells². The S. Typhimurium genome encodes two distinct T3SS's within Salmonella pathogenicity islands (SPI)-1 and SPI-2. The SPI-1 T3SS secretes effectors that induce cytoskeletal rearrangements and changes in phosphoinositide dynamics, which drive the internalization of the bacteria into a compartment known as the Salmonella-containing vacuole (SCV)³. Subsequently, the SPI-2 encoded T3SS translocates effectors across the SCV membrane to promote intracellular growth and cell-to-cell spread⁴⁻⁶.

Salmonella T3SS effectors can act cooperatively to initiate specific stages of infection⁷,⁸. For example, the effectors SopB and SopD work together to drive bacterial internalization, by promoting plasma membrane scission and the generation of SCVs at invasion sites⁹. SopB is a lipid phosphatase that contributes to plasma membrane scission and the generation of SCVs by eliminating its primary substrate in host cells, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P₂)¹⁰⁻¹⁴. SopD is conserved in all Salmonella lineages and contributes to gastroenteritis¹⁵⁻¹⁷ and systemic disease models of animal infection¹⁸; however, its host cell target(s) and mechanism of action have not been defined⁹.

SopD shares 42% sequence identity with another effector, SopD2¹⁹, which is secreted by the SPI-2 T3SS and is involved in later stages of infection. SopD2 binds to and inactivates several Rab GTPases through multiple mechanisms²⁰⁻²². Whether SopD can also modulate Rab GTPase function is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that SopD binds to and inhibits the activity of Rab10. Furthermore, we show that Rab10 inhibition by SopD contributes to plasma membrane scission and bacterial internalization into SCVs during infection of host cells.

## Results

SopD is a bacterial GAP for Rab10. Immunoprecipitation coupled with mass spectrometry (IP-MS)²³,²⁴ was used to identify SopD host cell binding partners in HEK 293 Flp-In T-REx cells. Using this approach, 120 high confidence interactors were identified (Supplementary Data 1: endocytic trafficking related hits are shown in Supplementary Fig. 1). Amongst the high confidence interactors was the small GTPase Rab10. To validate the SopD-Rab10 interaction, HEK 293T cells were co-transfected with SopD-RFP and wild type (WT), dominant negative (T23N) or constitutively active (Q68L) GFP-Rab10 mutants²⁵,²⁶. SopD co-immunoprecipitated WT Rab10 and both Rab10 mutants (Fig. 1a).

Proteins that bind the active form of GTPases often function as either effectors or their GTPase activating proteins (GAPs), which terminate their activity by promoting GTP hydrolysis. SopD2 was previously shown to inactivate Rab8, Rab10 and Rab32 in vitro through a direct GAP activity²¹. SopD2 is thought to mimic eukaryotic GAPs, utilizing a catalytic arginine residue (R315) located near its C-terminus²¹. Mutation of this residue to alanine (R315A) causes a loss in SopD2 GAP activity towards Rab8, 10, and 32 as determined by in vitro biochemical assays²¹.

We identified a putative catalytic arginine residue (R312) in the C-terminus of SopD, (Supplementary Fig. 2) suggesting it may also have GAP activity. An in vitro GAP assay performed with purified SopD and Rab10 revealed that SopD accelerates the intrinsic GTP hydrolysis of Rab10, similar to SopD2 (Fig. 1b). The GAP activity of SopD requires R312, since a SopD mutant (R312A) lacking this residue was incapable of accelerating Rab10 GTP hydrolysis (Fig. 1c). Therefore, SopD can function as a GAP for Rab10 in vitro.

SopD is sufficient to disrupt Rab10⁺ tubules in the absence of infection. Rab10 localizes to tubules in multiple eukaryotic cell types and mediates their formation via its effectors²⁷,²⁸. Therefore, we tested the impact of SopD expression on Rab10 localization in control (uninfected) cells. Since SopD loses association with membranes during fixation⁹, we tested localization in live epithelial cells. TdTomo (TD)-Rab10 localized to endosomes and long tubules in ~50% of cells, when co-expressed with a GFP control plasmid (Fig. 1d, e). Co-expression of SopD-GFP and TD-Rab10 led to colocalization on punctate structures accompanied by the loss of TD-Rab10 localization on tubules. In contrast, the SopD GAP mutant (R312A) colocalized with TD-Rab10 but did not disrupt Rab10 localization to tubules. Thus, SopD can interfere with Rab10 localization in epithelial cells, independently of other S. Typhimurium effectors and in a manner that requires its GAP activity.

SopD2 was previously shown to have GAP activity towards Rab10 in vitro²¹. However, the expression of either SopD2 or its GAP mutant (R315A) did not impact Rab10 localization to tubules (Supplementary Fig. 3). Thus, SopD can specifically alter Rab10 tubule localization in transfected cells.

SopD was previously shown to bind to host cell membranes during infection but the mechanisms for this binding are not known⁹. To test a role for Rab10 in binding of SopD to host cell membranes, siRNA-mediated knockdown of Rab10 (confirmed by Western blot or qRT-PCR, Supplementary Fig. 4a-c) was performed with two separate siRNA's targeting Rab10. Cells were then transfected with SopD(R312A) to examine the localization of SopD without the confounding effects of its GAP activity. In comparison to control siRNA-treated cells, there was nearly a complete loss of SopD(R312A) localization to tubules in siRab10 knockdown cells (Fig. 1f, g). However, SopD retained localization to intracellular punctate structures, suggesting that Rab10 is required for SopD localization to tubules, but does not affect membrane binding by SopD in general. These findings also suggest a role for Rab10 in generating tubules, consistent with prior findings²⁷,²⁸.

SopB and SopD affect Rab10 localization kinetics at S. Typhimurium invasion sites. To further understand the impact of SopD on Rab10, we examined the localization of this GTPase during S. Typhimurium infection. It is worth noting that SopD is an effector of the SPI-1 encoded T3SS and promotes invasion of host cells¹⁶,²⁹. In contrast, SopD2 is primarily an effector of the SPI-2 encoded T3SS, is poorly expressed during the early stages of S. Typhimurium infection and is targeted to late endocytic compartments (which lack Rab10) upon translocation into host cells¹⁹. Taken together with our findings that SopD (but not SopD2) can disrupt Rab10 tubules in uninfected cells, we decided to focus on the early stages of S. Typhimurium infection.

SopD localizes to S. Typhimurium invasion sites⁹, therefore we tested whether Rab10 is also localized to these sites. Henle 407 cells were transfected with GFP-Rab10 and infected for 10 min with S. Typhimurium strains (Fig. 2a, b). Using WT S. Typhimurium, we observed that GFP-Rab10 localized to ~60% of invasion sites at 10 min post-infection (p.i.). Enrichment of Rab10 at WT S. Typhimurium invasion sites at this timepoint was confirmed using an antibody targeting endogenous Rab10 (Supplementary Fig. 5a). We did not observe a significant difference in GFP-Rab10 recruitment during infection with a ΔsopD mutant (deleted for the *sopD* gene) (Fig. 2b), suggesting that SopD is not involved in Rab10 recruitment to S. Typhimurium invasion sites at 10 min p.i.

SopB mediates targeting of many host-signalling factors to the invasion site via its phosphatase activity³⁰. Therefore, we tested

whether SopB promotes recruitment of Rab10 as well. The S. Typhimurium mutant strain lacking SopB (ΔsopB, deleted for the sopB gene) had a significant defect in Rab10 recruitment to the invasion site relative to WT 10 min p.i. (Fig. 2a, b), but these bacteria eventually colocalized with Rab10 by 30 min p.i. (Fig. 2d,

Supplementary Fig. 6). Complementation of the ΔsopB bacteria with WT SopB, but not the catalytically inactive C462S mutant³¹, expressed from a low copy plasmid restored recruitment of GFP-Rab10 to invasion sites at 10 min p.i. (Fig. 2a, b). These data suggest that Rab10 localization kinetics at S. Typhimurium

invasion sites is delayed in the absence of SopB's lipid
phosphatase activity.

At later stages of invasion (30–60 min p.i.), S. Typhimurium is localized to invaginated regions of the plasma membrane that subsequently undergo scission to generate SCVs containing the bacteria. These later stages of infection are identified as bacteria that become inaccessible to antibodies present in the extracellular medium (see model, Supplementary Fig. 7). We examined the localization of Rab10 to these bacteria during infection. We observed that Rab10 rarely colocalized with WT bacteria at 30 and 60 min p.i. (Fig. 2c, d, Supplementary Fig. 6). Loss of Rab10 from WT S. Typhimurium invasion sites at this timepoint was

confirmed using an antibody targeting endogenous Rab10 (Supplementary Fig. 5b). In contrast, at 30 min p.i., ΔsopD mutant bacteria displayed significant colocalization with Rab10 (Fig. 2c, d, Supplementary Fig. 5b). We also observed a robust aggregation of GFP-Rab10⁺ compartments at the invasion site (not directly colocalized with bacteria) of ΔsopD mutant bacteria (Fig. 2c, Supplementary Fig. 8). This aggregation phenotype, at 30 min p.i., was reversed by complementation of the ΔsopD mutant bacteria with WT SopD but not by expression of the SopD(R312A) (Supplementary Fig. 8). Our data suggest that the GAP activity of SopD mediates the removal of Rab10 from S. Typhimurium invasion sites at later stages of bacterial uptake.

Our findings are consistent with previous observations demonstrating that Rab GTPases reversibly associate with membranes in a manner regulated by their cycle of GTP binding and hydrolysis³².

A double mutant lacking both effectors (ΔsopBΔsopD) had the greatest impairment in Rab10 localization kinetics compared to WT infection, displaying significant enrichment of Rab10 on nascent SCVs up to 60 min p.i. (Fig. 2c, d, Supplementary Fig. 6). We conclude that both SopB and SopD activity affect Rab10 localization kinetics at the invasion site, which results in timely acquisition and removal of Rab10 during invasion.

**SopD disrupts Rab10⁺ tubules during infection.** In cells infected with ΔsopD mutant bacteria, we observed frequent localization of GFP-Rab10 to tubules (arrowheads in Fig. 2c). Consistent with our findings in non-infected cells, complementation of the ΔsopD mutant with WT SopD expressed by bacteria on a low copy plasmid was sufficient to induce loss of Rab10 localization to tubules during infection (Fig. 2e). In contrast, the expression of SopD(R312A) in ΔsopD mutant bacteria was not sufficient to disrupt Rab10 localization to tubules. Furthermore, we observed colocalization of SopD(R312A)-GFP (transfected into cells prior to infection) with TD-Rab10 on tubules and ΔsopD mutant S. Typhimurium positive compartments at 30 min p.i., unlike cells transfected with WT SopD-GFP (Supplementary Fig. 9).

This tubule phenotype was specific to infection by ΔsopD mutant bacteria and was rarely observed in cells infected by either ΔsopB or ΔsopD2 mutant bacteria (Fig. 2f, Supplementary Fig. 6). These tubules were also detected when cells were stained using an antibody targeting endogenous Rab10 (Supplementary Fig. 5b). Collectively, our findings indicate that SopD GAP activity is required to disrupt Rab10 localization to tubules during infection.

**SopD inhibits Rab10 to promote plasma membrane scission during S. Typhimurium invasion.** Our findings revealed that SopD modulates Rab10 function during the invasion. This suggested the possibility that the GAP activity of SopD may contribute to an established SopD phenotype. SopD is known to act cooperatively with SopB to promote scission of the plasma membrane during S. Typhimurium invasion⁹,¹⁰. Cells infected with ΔsopB or ΔsopD mutant bacteria exhibit a significant defect in plasma membrane scission that is readily apparent at 20 min p.i⁹. SopB promotes scission by dephosphorylation of PI(4,5)P₂¹⁰. However, the mechanism(s) used by SopD to promote membrane scission during S. Typhimurium invasion has remained unclear. Based on our findings here, we hypothesized that SopD may

promote scission of the plasma membrane by deactivating Rab10 at invasion sites.

To test this hypothesis, we used a plasma membrane scission assay developed by Terebiznik et al.¹⁰. Sealing was determined by measuring the accessibility of an extracellular membrane impermeable dye to the compartments forming at the base of the invasion ruffles (see model, Supplementary Fig. 7). This includes invaginations of the plasma membrane and unsealed SCVs, which were visualized using a fluorescent protein targeted to the plasma membrane (PM-mCherry) via the myristoylation and palmitoylation sequences from Lys tyrosine kinase³³. For our studies, we used CellMask, an amphipathic molecule that has both a lipophilic moiety for membrane insertion and a negatively charged hydrophilic dye for attachment of the probe in the plasma membrane. CellMask was added to the medium at 20 min p.i. to label the cell surface and accessible membranes prior to fixation. The degree of scission is represented as a Fluorescence Area Ratio (CellMask fluorescence area/PM-mCherry fluorescence area).

Cells infected with ΔsopD mutant bacteria were defective in plasma membrane scission at the S. Typhimurium invasion site (Fig. 3a, b), consistent with prior observations⁹. Remarkably, siRNA-mediated knockdown of Rab10 expression was sufficient to complement the plasma membrane scission defect in cells infected with the ΔsopD mutant bacteria. Knockdown of Rab10 was also sufficient to complement the invasion defect of ΔsopD mutant bacteria, which was quantified by measuring the generation of sealed SCVs (PM-mCherry⁺ bacteria inaccessible to CellMask) (Fig. 3c). Thus, in the absence of SopD, Rab10 expression restricts plasma membrane scission.

Consistent with these data, infection of cells with ΔsopD mutant bacteria was complemented *in trans* by transfection of host cells with SopD-GFP, as determined by measurement of sealed SCVs (Fig. 3d) and scission of the plasma membrane (Supplementary Fig. 10). In contrast, the SopD GAP mutant (SopD(R312A)-GFP) could not complement the membrane scission and invasion defect of ΔsopD mutant bacteria. We conclude that the GAP activity of SopD is required for its role in promoting plasma membrane scission and the generation of SCVs during S. Typhimurium invasion of host cells.

Our IP-MS data suggested that SopD also interacts with Rab8A, though lower spectral counts were observed in comparison to Rab10 (Supplementary Data 1, Supplementary Fig. 1). Rab8A was found to colocalize with Rab10 on tubules (Supplementary Fig. 11a) and Rab8A localization to tubules was disrupted upon co-transfection with SopD-RFP (Supplementary Fig. 11b). Consistent with this, we observed that SopD exhibits GAP activity toward Rab8A in a manner dependent on its catalytic arginine 312 residue (Supplementary Fig. 11c). However, SopD(R312A) localized to tubular compartments

in a manner that depended on Rab10 whereas Rab8A had only a minor role (Supplementary Fig. 11d). Furthermore, Rab8A knock-down (confirmed by qRT-PCR) does not complement the membrane scission defect of *ΔsopD* mutant bacteria (Supplementary Fig. 11e, f). Collectively, these data suggest that Rab10 is the relevant target of SopD during S. Typhimurium invasion.

**Rab10 localizes to invaginated regions of the plasma membrane during host cell invasion.** Under conditions when plasma membrane scission was impaired (by infection by *ΔsopB* or *ΔsopD* mutant bacteria), we observed Rab10 retention at invasion sites. This effect was most pronounced in cells infected with the *ΔsopBΔsopD* double mutant, in which membrane scission is severely delayed (Fig. 3e). Under these infection conditions, invaginated plasma membrane was labeled with CellMask, as above. Notably, ~85% of GFP-Rab10⁺ bacteria were in compartments accessible to CellMask at 20 min p.i. These findings showed that Rab10 localized to invaginated portions of the plasma membrane, including tubular invaginations and nascent SCV's, prior to scission induced by SopB and SopD.

Consistent with the findings above, SopD and Rab10 colocalized at actin-enriched invasion sites, denoted by the marker of F-actin, Lifeact-BFP³⁴, at 10 min p.i. (Fig. 3f). As shown in the XZ cross-section, SopD-GFP and TD-Rab10 were enriched at the base of the S. Typhimurium invasion sites, where the plasma membrane invaginates to form nascent SCVs. Notably, SopD and Rab10 were absent from the actin-enriched protruding 'ruffles' that extended dorsally from the cell surface. Thus, SopD localized to sites of Rab10 recruitment early during infection, prior to the release of Rab10 from these sites at later stages of infection.

**Rab10 effectors limit scission of the plasma membrane during invasion by ΔsopD mutant S. Typhimurium.** Our findings above indicated that Rab10 limits plasma membrane scission during invasion with S. Typhimurium mutants lacking SopD (Fig. 3). Therefore, we wanted to examine how Rab10 activity could limit plasma membrane invaginations (including nascent SCV's and other tubular invaginations of the plasma membrane) from undergoing normal scission. Since Rab GTPases usually regulate membrane trafficking events through the function of their effectors³⁵, we hypothesized that known Rab10 effectors may be involved. The Rab10 effectors, MICAL-L1 (Molecule Interacting with CasL-like protein 1) and EHBP1 (EH domain-binding protein 1) are known to localize to tubular membranes³⁶,³⁷ where MICAL-L1 has been described as a signalling hub connecting a network of GTPases³⁷, and EHBP1 has been shown to function as an adaptor protein capable of binding PI(4,5)P₂ and filamentous actin³⁸. Consistent with prior studies, MICAL-L1 and EHBP1 colocalized with Rab10⁺ tubules when co-transfected in epithelial cells (Fig. 4a). Furthermore, knockdown of Rab10 disrupted the frequency of MICAL-L1 and EHBP1 localization to tubules (Fig. 4b, c). Next, we tested the role of MICAL-L1 and EHBP1 during S. Typhimurium infection. Knockdown of either Rab10 effector (confirmed by qRT-PCR, Supplementary Fig. 12) reduced the number of infected cells with GFP-Rab10⁺ positive tubules during *ΔsopD* mutant infection (Fig. 4d, e). Thus, the Rab10 effectors MICAL-L1 and EHBP1 impact Rab10⁺ tubules during infection by *ΔsopD* mutant bacteria.

Next, we examined the role of Rab10 effectors in limiting plasma membrane scission during infection by *ΔsopD* mutant bacteria. We observed that MICAL-L1 and EHBP1 knockdown could complement the plasma membrane scission defect at *ΔsopD* mutant invasion sites to levels similar to cells with Rab10 knockdown (Fig. 4f). Knockdown of MICAL-L1 and EHBP1 also

promoted *ΔsopD* mutant entry into sealed SCVs (Fig. 4g), though this effect was not statistically significant, indicating that Rab10 effectors may act cooperatively to restrict plasma membrane scission. Consistent with our findings, MICAL-L1 and EHBP1 colocalize with Rab10 at *ΔsopD* and *ΔsopBΔsopD* mutant bacteria invasion sites at 20 min p.i., suggesting that these Rab10 effectors act locally on invaginations of the plasma membrane to limit scission (Supplementary Fig. 13).

**Rab10 and its effectors inhibit recruitment of Dynamin-2 during invasion by ΔsopD mutant S. Typhimurium.** Although our findings revealed that Rab10 and its effectors limit plasma membrane scission during S. Typhimurium invasion, we wanted to address how the inactivation of Rab10 promotes scission. Dynamin-2, a large monomeric GTPase, is recruited to S. Typhimurium invasion sites where it is known to play a significant role in promoting plasma membrane scission and the generation of SCVs³⁹. Based on our findings here, we hypothesized that SopD-mediated inhibition of Rab10 may impact the ability of Dynamin-2 to promote SCV generation.

To test this hypothesis, we examined Dynamin-2 recruitment to S. Typhimurium invasion sites. Cells were transfected with Dynamin-2 fused to mCherry (DNM2-mCherry) prior to infection. We observed robust recruitment of DNM2-mCherry to sites of invasion by WT bacteria (Fig. 5a), consistent with prior observations³⁹. However, robust recruitment of DNM2-mCherry was not observed in cells during *ΔsopD* mutant infection (Fig. 5a, c). Similar results were observed with *ΔsopBΔsopD* mutant bacteria. In contrast, the single *ΔsopB* mutant did not display a defect in DNM2-mCherry recruitment to invasion sites. These findings indicate that SopD plays an important role in the recruitment of Dynamin-2 to S. Typhimurium invasion sites.

Next, we examined the role of Rab10 in Dynamin-2 recruitment to S. Typhimurium invasion sites. CRISPR-mediated knockout of Rab10 in Henle 407 cells (confirmed by Western blot, Supplementary Fig. 4d) did not affect recruitment of DNM2-mCherry to sites of invasion by WT bacteria or those lacking the effector SopB (Fig. 5b, c). However, knockout of Rab10 was sufficient to restore DNM2-mCherry recruitment to invasion sites by *ΔsopD* mutant bacteria. Thus, Rab10 impairs Dynamin-2 recruitment to S. Typhimurium invasion sites in the absence of SopD.

We also observed that MICAL-L1 and EHBP1 knockdown could complement the recruitment defect of DNM2-mCherry at *ΔsopD* mutant invasion sites (Fig. 5d, e). These findings indicate that Rab10's effectors play an important role in modulating Dynamin-2 activity at the plasma membrane. In summary, our findings reveal that SopD-mediated inhibition of Rab10 regulates Dynamin-2 recruitment to sites of invasion.

**SopD-mediated inhibition of Rab10 promotes plasma membrane scission during S. Typhimurium invasion via Dynamin-2.** Our findings suggested that SopD promotes plasma membrane scission and subsequent S. Typhimurium invasion via Dynamin-2 activity. We tested this possibility by performing a plasma membrane scission assay in the presence or absence of Dynasore, a potent inhibitor of Dynamin-2⁴⁰. As expected, Dynasore treatment significantly reduced the invasion of WT bacteria (Fig. 6a, b)³⁹. Invasion with *ΔsopD* mutant bacteria was impaired in comparison to WT S. Typhimurium invasion. However, invasion of *ΔsopD* mutant bacteria was not significantly affected by Dynasore treatment, consistent with defective Dynamin-2 recruitment to invasion sites (Fig. 5). Invasion of *ΔsopD* mutant bacteria was complemented to nearly WT levels in a Rab10 KO Henle 407 cell line, consistent with our siRab10 knockdown study. However, this complementation was lost when

Dynamin-2 was inhibited. Our findings reveal how SopD-mediated inhibition of Rab10 can promote bacterial invasion through enabling the recruitment and subsequent activity of Dynamin-2.

## Discussion

Our study identifies Rab10 as a host cell target of SopD. Furthermore, we demonstrate that SopD has a direct GAP activity

towards Rab10 in vitro and modulates Rab10 localization during S. Typhimurium invasion. Our findings are consistent with prior studies indicating that the related effector SopD2 can inhibit the activity of multiple Rab GTPases²⁰⁻²². We also show that the catalytic arginine residue required for the GAP activity of SopD2²¹ is present in its paralog SopD and necessary for its GAP activity towards Rab10. SopD2 was also shown to bind and inactivate Rab10 in vitro²¹. However, the significance of this activity during infection was not determined.

Here, we show that SopD-mediated inhibition of Rab10 contributes to S. Typhimurium invasion of host cells by promoting scission of the plasma membrane at bacterial invasion sites (see model in Fig. 7). During the early stages of invasion, Rab10 localizes to invaginated portions of the plasma membrane. Consistent with these findings, Rab10 has been observed on

phagocytic cups prior to their closure⁴¹, although its role in the sealing of phagosomes has been unclear. We find that inhibition of Rab10 function, either through the GAP activity of SopD or through knockdown of Rab10 expression, promotes membrane scission and internalization of bacteria into SCVs. To our knowledge, this is the first study to show that direct inactivation of a Rab family GTPase promotes bacterial invasion.

SopD2 is primarily an effector of the SPI-2 encoded T3SS, poorly expressed during the early stages of S. Typhimurium infection and unlikely able to promote bacterial invasion through its ability to inhibit Rab10. Indeed, we show that SopD (Fig. 1d, e; Fig. 2c, e), but not SopD2 (Supplementary Figs. 3, 6), is sufficient to disrupt Rab10⁺ tubule localization in transfected cells and during infection. However, S. Typhimurium expresses both SopD and SopD2 after entry into SCVs and both effectors are required

for optimal bacterial growth in macrophages¹⁸. Thus, it will be
important to determine whether inhibition of Rab10 by SopD
and/or SopD2 impacts the later stages of infection of host cells.

Our IP-MS data revealed that SopD also interacts with Rab8A.
However, Rab8A knockdown does not complement the mem-
brane scission defect of ΔsopD mutant bacteria (Supplementary
Fig. 11e). These data suggest that Rab10 is the relevant target of
SopD during S. Typhimurium invasion. In future studies, it will
be important to determine whether inhibition of Rab8A by SopD
(and/or SopD2²¹) impacts other pathways or stages of infection.
Of note, during the review of this manuscript Galan and collea-
gues revealed that SopD can target Rab8 to positively and nega-
tively modulate the inflammatory response⁴².

Our findings highlight the remarkable cooperativity of SopB and SopD to promote bacterial invasion. SopB has lipid phosphatase activity that can promote plasma membrane scission through dephosphorylation of PI(4,5)P₂ to generate PI(5)P¹¹,¹² and we find that SopB contributes to the dynamic modulation of Rab10 localization. First, SopB promotes membrane reorganization at invasion sites, which promotes recruitment of Rab10 and SopD, along with many other signalling molecules through molecular mechanisms that remain unclear⁹,³⁰. We determined that ΔsopB mutant bacteria eventually acquire Rab10 and are also delayed in its removal from nascent SCVs. This could be explained by SopB-mediated dephosphorylation of PI(4,5)P₂, which has been shown to affect the charge of the membrane surrounding the bacteria and alter the localization of many signalling molecules⁴³. Mammalian phosphatidylinositol polyphosphate phosphatases, such as Synaptojanin 1, play a significant role in plasma membrane scission during endocytosis. Synaptojanin 1 was shown to mediate PI(4,5)P₂ to PI(4)P conversion at sites of high membrane curvature induced by the BAR domain-containing protein endophilin⁴⁴. Spatial elimination of PI(4,5)P₂ was found to cooperate with Dynamin to initiate fission of membrane tubules. Thus, dephosphorylation of PI(4,5)P₂ appears to be a critical step in the scission of the plasma membrane.

Our findings reveal that SopD inhibits Rab10 to promote
bacterial invasion. We also show that Rab10 must be cycled off
(undergo GTP hydrolysis) to promote plasma membrane scission
during S. Typhimurium invasion via Dynamin-2. The mechanism
by which Rab10 restricts plasma membrane scission during
infection by ΔsopD mutant bacteria remains an important ques-
tion. Based on our work and prior studies, we propose that several
possible mechanisms are likely to be involved. First, it is known
that Rab10 promotes PI(4,5)P₂ production via an Arf6-dependent
pathway⁴⁵, and may thus counter the ability of SopB to depho-
sphorylate this lipid during infection. Second, several Rab10
effectors are known to bind to PI(4,5)P₂³⁸,⁴⁶,⁴⁷ and may act to
sequester this lipid from SopB. Third, Rab10 effectors may gen-
erate a membrane microdomain that spatially restricts scission via
Dynamin-2. For example, EHPB1 is known to promote tubular
endosome formation by simultaneously binding to PI(4,5)P₂ and
filamentous actin³⁸. MICAL-L1 may act in a similar manner since
members of the MICAL family are known to modulate the actin
cytoskeleton⁴⁸. It is interesting that Rab10 was shown to bind
Dynamin-2 preferentially in its GDP-bound state⁴⁹. Therefore,
under normal infection conditions SopD-mediated inactivation of
Rab10 may have the dual benefit of i) releasing Rab10-mediated
stabilization of plasma membrane invaginations and ii) simulta-
neously promoting recruitment of Dynamin-2 via its ability to
bind GDP-bound Rab10. Further studies are required to deter-
mine the ability of Rab10 to stabilize plasma membrane invagi-
nations and regulate Dynamin-2 activity.

Here we show that EHPB1 and MICAL-L1 impact Rab10⁺
tubule regulation during infection and inhibit plasma membrane
scission during infection by ΔsopD mutant bacteria. In future stu-
dies it will be important to determine the full complement of Rab10
effectors required for the formation of these structures. It will also
be important to examine how Rab10 regulates plasma membrane
dynamics in other physiological contexts. Our findings provide new
insight into the many roles of Rab10. Prior studies have identified a
diverse array of Rab10 activities in multiple intracellular compart-
ments, including endosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum, the
<figure><img src="image_17.png" /><figcaption>**Fig. 7** The *Salmonella* effector SopD targets Rab10 to promote plasma membrane scission during invasion. Model depicting the results of this study. *Salmonella* use a type 3 secretion system (T3SS) to inject virulence factors called effectors into host cells. These effectors induce cytoskeletal rearrangements and changes in phosphoinositide dynamics in order to form an invasion-associated ruffle. We demonstrate that the *Salmonella* lipid phosphatase, SopB, promotes the recruitment of Rab10 to the S. Typhimurium invasion site, as previously shown for SopD⁹. SopD and Rab10 colocalize at the base of the *Salmonella* invasion ruffle where the plasma membrane invaginates to form a *Salmonella*-containing vacuole. Together SopB and SopD contribute in Rab10 removal from the forming vacuole and promote plasma membrane scission at the invasion site. SopB and SopD contribute to vacuole scission through PI(4,5)P₂ hydrolysis and Rab10 GAP activity, respectively. SopD-mediated inactivation of Rab10 leads to the recruitment of Dynamin-2 and subsequent scission of plasma membrane to form an SCV. In the absence of SopB and SopD, vacuole scission is defective and Rab10⁺ tubules (including tubular invaginations of the plasma membrane and tubular endosomes) are prominent at the invasion site.

Plasma membrane scission has been studied during the inter-
nalization of other pathogens such as *Yersinia pseudotuberculosis*,
which is known to exploit host factors to promote plasma
membrane scission during the invasion of host cells⁵¹. In con-
trast, *Toxoplasma gondii* utilizes unidentified secreted virulence
proteins to promote scission via a twisting mechanism⁵².
Impairment of plasma membrane scission causes swelling and
death of the parasites, indicating this step is critical during
infection and may be a suitable target for antimicrobial devel-
opment. Whether other pathogens inhibit Rab10 activity to
promote invasion of host cells, in a manner similar to S. Typhi-
murium, will be an important topic for future studies.

**Cell culture.** Henle 407 and HEK 293T cells were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). Although Henle 407 cell cultures have been shown to contain HeLa cell chromosomes, our Henle 407 cells were used between passages 5–25 and maintained a distinct morphology relative to HeLa cells. Flp-In T-Ex 293 cells were obtained from Invitrogen. Cell cultures were maintained in growth medium (DMEM, high glucose (HyClone) supplemented with 10% FBS (Wisent)) at 37 °C in 5% CO₂.

Using the Flp-In system (Invitrogen), Flp-In T-Ex 293 cells stably expressing FLAGBirA* alone or SopD-FLAGBirA* were generated. After selection (DMEM + 10% FBS + 200 µg/ml Hygromycin B), 5 × 150 cm² plates of sub-confluent (80%) cells were incubated for 24 h in complete media supplemented with 1 µg/ml tetracycline (Sigma) before harvesting cells.

For microscopy-based experiments, Henle 407 cells were seeded in 24-well tissue culture plates containing 1 cm coverslips at a concentration of 6 × 10⁴ cells/well 24 h or 3 × 10⁴ cells/well 48 h before use. For live cell imaging, cells were seeded in µ-Slide 8-well glass bottom chambers (ibidi) 24 h before use at a concentration of 4.0 × 10⁴ cells/well.

**Immunoprecipitation coupled to mass spectrometry (IP-MS).** SopD and control cell pellets were weighed, and 1:4 pellet weight:lysis buffer (by volume) was added to each sample. Lysis buffer consisted of 50 mM HEPES-NaOH (pH 8.0), 100 mM KCl, 2 mM EDTA, 0.1% NP40, 10% glycerol, 1 mM PMSF, 1 mM DTT and 1:500 protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). On resuspension, cells were incubated on ice for 10 min, subjected to one additional freeze-thaw cycle, then centrifuged at 27000 × g for 20 min at 4 °C. Supernatant was transferred to a fresh 15 ml conical tube, and 1:1000 benzonase nuclease (Novagen) plus 30 µl packed, pre-equilibrated anti-FLAG M2 agarose beads (Sigma-Aldrich) were added. The mixture was incubated for 2 h at 4 °C with end-over-end rotation. Beads were pelleted by centrifugation at 1000 × g for 1 min and transferred with 1 ml of lysis buffer to a fresh centrifuge tube. Beads were washed once with 1 ml lysis buffer and twice with 1 ml ammonium bicarbonate (ammbic) rinsing buffer (50 mM ammbic, pH 8.0, 75 mM KCl). Elution was performed by incubating the beads with 150 µl of 125 mM ammonium hydroxide (pH >11). The elution step was repeated twice, and the combined eluate centrifuged at 15000 × g for 1 min, transferred to a fresh centrifuge tube and lyophilized. One microgram of MS-grade TPCK trypsin (Promega, Madison, WI) dissolved in 70 µl of 50 mM ammbic (pH 8.3) was added to the Flag eluate and incubated at 37 °C overnight. The sample was lyophilized and brought up in 0.1% formic acid.

**Mass spectrometry.** High performance liquid chromatography was conducted using a 2 cm pre-column (Acclaim PepMap 50 mm × 100 um inner diameter (ID)), and 50 cm analytical column (Acclaim PepMap, 500 mm × 75 um diameter; C18; 2 um; 100 Å, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA), running a 120 min reversed-phase buffer gradient at 225 nl/min on a Proxon EASY-nLC 1000 pump in-line with a Thermo Q-Exactive HF quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometer. A parent ion scan was performed using a resolving power of 60,000, then up to the twenty most intense peaks were selected for MS/MS (minimum ion count of 1000 for activation), using higher energy collision induced dissociation (HCD) fragmentation. Dynamic exclusion was activated such that MS/MS of the same m/z (within a range of 10 ppm; exclusion list size = 500) detected twice within 5 s were excluded from analysis for 15 s. For protein identification, Thermo.RAW files were converted to the .mzXML format using Proteowizard⁶² then searched using X!Tandem⁶³ and Comet⁶⁴ against the Human RefSeq Version 45 database (containing 36113 entries). Search parameters specified a parent ion mass tolerance of 10 ppm, and an MS/MS fragment ion tolerance of 0.4 Da, with up to 2 missed cleavages allowed for trypsin. Variable modifications of +16@M and W, +32@M and W, +42@N-terminus, and +1@N and Q were allowed. Proteins identified with an iProphet cut-off of 0.9 (corresponding to ≤1% FDR) and at least two unique peptides were analyzed with SAINT Express v.3.3. For SopD analysis, eight control runs (from cells expressing the FlagBirA* epitope tag) were collapsed to the two highest spectral counts for each prey and compared to the two technical replicates

and two biological replicates of SopD anti-FLAG IP. High confidence interactors were defined as those with BFDR≤0.01.

**Transfections and RNA interference.** Transfections were performed using GeneJuice (VWR Scientific) or X-treme GENE9 (Roche) according to the manufacturer's instructions. For siRNA-mediated knockdown, cells were seeded in 24-well tissue culture plates at a concentration of 3 × 10⁴ cells/well 24 h before use. Cells were then transfected with 100 nM siRNA using Lipofectamine RNAiMax (Invitrogen) as recommended by the manufacturer for 48 h. Rab10-directed siRNAs (#1: SASI_Hs02_00348924 and #2: SASI_Hs01_00041007), as well as MICAL-L1 (SASI_Hs02_00361239), EHBP1 (SASI_Hs01_00097428) and Rab8A (SASI_Hs02_00339466) directed siRNAs were obtained from Sigma Aldrich. For control knockdown, MISSION* siRNA Universal Negative Control (Sigma Aldrich, #SIC001) was used.

**CRISPR knockout.** To disrupt Rab10 expression in Henle 407 cells, Rab10-specific single-guide RNA (sgRNA) was designed using the online tool [http://guides.sanjanalab.org/](http://guides.sanjanalab.org/). The sgRNA sequences were sgRNA#1 (sgRNA1-F: 5'-CACCGCATTGCGCCTCTGTAGTAGG-3', sgRNA1-R: 5'-AAACCCTACTACAGAGGC GCAATGC-3'); sgRNA#2 (sgRNA2-F: 5'-CACCGGGATATCTTCAGCTAACG TG-3', sgRNA2-R: 5'-AAACCACGTTAGCTGAAGATATCCC-3'); sgRNA#3 (sgRNA3-F: 5'-CACCGCTAGTATATGACATCACCAA-3', sgRNA3-R: 5'-AAACTTGGTGATGTCATATACTAGC-3'). Custom sgRNA oligonucleotides were synthesized by Sigma Aldrich. The CRISPR/Cas9 vector pSpCas9 (BB)-2A-Puro (pX459) was obtained from Dr. Chi-Chung Hui. For ligation into the BbsI site of pX459, a CACCG sequence was added to the 5' flanking sequences of the sense oligonucleotides and an AACAC sequence was added to the 5' flanking sequences of the anti-sense oligonucleotides. The sgRNAs were inserted into pX459 vector. WT Henle 407 cells were transfected with the ligated vector and 48 h later the transfected cells were selected by Puromycin (2ug/ml) for another 48 h. Single cells were then transferred into a 96-well plate to grow until confluent. Knockout efficiency was determined by western blot analysis.

**Bacterial strains and infections.** Infections were performed with WT S. Typhimurium SL1344⁶⁵ and isogenic mutants lacking the effectors of interest. Mutants in the S. Typhimurium SL1344 background lacking SopD (ΔsopD)¹⁸, ΔsopD +pSopD¹⁸, SopB(ΔsopB)⁶⁶, ΔsopB + pSopB⁶⁷, and ΔsopB + pSopB C462S⁶⁶, as well as lacking both SopB and SopD (ΔsopBΔsopD)⁹ were described previously. The WT BFP- S. Typhimurium SL1344 as well as the isogenic BFP-ΔsopD and BFP- ΔsopBΔsopD strains were constructed by transforming each strain with BFP-pFPV25.1, a plasmid expressing BFP under control of the rpsM promoter. SopD (R312A) was expressed in ΔsopD mutant S. Typhimurium by transforming the pACYC184 SopD(R312A) low copy plasmid.

A previously established approach was used for infection of epithelial cells, using late-log S. Typhimurium cultures as inocula⁶⁸. Briefly, bacteria were pelleted at 10,000 × g for 2 min and resuspended in PBS, pH 7.2. The bacteria were diluted and added to cells at 37 °C for 10 min. For invasion experiments, bacteria were diluted 1:50 in PBS. If applicable, cells were fixed with 2.5% paraformaldehyde in PBS at 37 °C for 10 min.

**Immunofluorescence staining.** For all fixed microscopy-based experiments, cells were fixed with 2.5% paraformaldehyde (PFA) in PBS for 10 min at 37 °C, unless indicated otherwise. Immunostaining was performed as previously described⁶⁹ using the following primary antibodies: rabbit polyclonal anti-S. Typhimurium LPS (Difco), mouse monoclonal anti-GFP (clone 3E6, Molecular Probes), and mouse monoclonal anti-Rab10 (Sigma).

The following secondary antibodies were used in this study: Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (Molecular Probes), Alexa Fluor 568-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (Molecular Probes), Alexa Fluor 350-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (Molecular Probes), and Alexa Fluor 647-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (Molecular Probes). AlexaFluor Phalloidin from Molecular Probes (ThermoFisher) or ActiStain Phalloidin (Cytoskeleton) was used to visualize F-actin. CellMask Deep Red Plasma membrane stain (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used as a membrane impermeant dye to identify compartments open to the extracellular space and was used without cell permeabilization.

For the invasion site recruitment experiment, F-actin and S. Typhimurium staining were used to denote the site of invasion at 10 min p.i. An enrichment of the indicated protein's signal at the S. Typhimurium invasion site, relative to the signal in the cytosol, was considered a positive recruitment. For vacuole recruitment experiments, immunostaining of bacteria before permeabilization and after permeabilization was used⁷⁰. Recruitment to bacteria inaccessible to extracellular antibody was quantified. Cells were counted using a Leica DMIRE2 inverted epifluorescence microscope.

**Plasma membrane scission assay.** Plasma membrane scission was measured as previously described⁹,¹⁰. Briefly, cells were grown in µ-Slide 8-well glass bottom chambers (ibidi) at a concentration of 4.0 × 10⁴ cells/well and transfected 16–18 h before invasion with PM-mCherry. For experiments conducted using siRNA knock-down, cells were seeded at a concentration of 4.0 × 10⁴ cells/well and transfected with siRNA, 24 h later growth media was changed and cells were transfected with
PM-mCherry 16–18 h before invasion. Cells were infected for 10 min with BFP expressing S. Typhimurium (1:30), extracellular bacteria were removed by extensive washing with PBS, and cells incubated for an additional 8 min in growth media. Cells were then washed with PBS and cells were incubated for 2 mins with CellMask Deep Red Plasma membrane stain (Thermo Fisher Scientific) at a 15 working solution (5 µg/ml), as recommended by the manufacturer. Cells were then PFA fixed for 10 min and imaged immediately after by confocal microscopy. Scission was measured by outlining the area positive for extracellular CellMask compared to the area of all compartments forming at the base of the invasion ruffles, which were visualized using PM-mCherry. The degree of scission is represented as a Fluorescence Area Ratio (CellMask fluorescence area/ PM-mCherry fluorescence area).

For plasma membrane scission assays performed with Dynasore treatment, the above protocol was altered as follows: cells were pre-treated with Dynasore (80 µM, 0.4% DMSO in growth media) for 30 min prior to infection. Cells were then infected for 10 min with BFP expressing S. Typhimurium (1:30 in D-PBS with 80 µM Dynasore & 0.4% DMSO), extracellular bacteria were removed by extensive washing with PBS, and cells incubated for an additional 8 min in growth media (with 80 µM Dynasore and 0.4% DMSO). Cells were then washed with PBS and cells were incubated for 2 mins with CellMask. The control groups were treated with growth media or S. Typhimurium containing D-PBS with 0.4% DMSO in corresponding steps.

**Confocal microscopy.** Unless otherwise indicated, cells were imaged using a Quorum spinning disk microscope with a ×63 oil immersion objective (Leica DMIRE2 inverted fluorescence microscope equipped with a Hamamatsu Back-Thinned EM-CCD camera or Hamamatsu CMOS FL-400 camera, spinning disk confocal scan head) and Volocity 6.3 acquisition software (Improvision). Confocal z-stacks of 0.3 µm were acquired and images were analyzed with Volocity 6.3 software.

**Co-immunoprecipitations.** For in vivo co-immunoprecipitation experiments, HEK 293T cells were seeded into 10 cm diameter tissue culture dishes at approximately 10% confluency and grown at 37 °C in 5% CO₂. After 24 h cells were co-transfected with epitope-tagged plasmids harbouring the GFP-Rab10 (wild type or mutants) or a control plasmid and SopD-RFP (6 µg total DNA) for 24 hr, respectively. Cells were washed in PBS and lysed in Lysis Buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100) supplemented with 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), 5 mM NaF, 5 mM NaVO₄, 10 µg/ml aprotinin 10 mg/ml, 10 µg/ml leupeptin, and 1 µM pepstatin A. Cell lysates were incubated overnight with RFP-Trap® resin (Chromotek, 15 µl packed volume), washed three times in Lysis Buffer, and eluted with 50 µl of 2x SDS-PAGE loading buffer. Samples were boiled for 10 min.

**Western blots.** Cell lysates and proteins eluted from co-immunoprecipitations were resolved by 12% SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membrane (Bio-Rad), and probed with antigen-specific primary antibodies. The following primary antibodies were used for Western Blot detection: rabbit polyclonal anti-GFP (Molecular Probes), rat monoclonal anti-RFP (clone 5F8, Chromotek), mouse monoclonal anti-Rab10 (Sigma), and mouse monoclonal (6C5) anti-GAPDH (Millipore).

Blocking was performed with 5% skim milk. For all analyses, HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies were used (peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (Sigma), peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rat IgG (Jackson ImmunoResearch) or peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (Jackson ImmunoResearch)) and detection was performed using ECL detection system (Luminata Classico Western HRP substrate (Millipore) or SuperSignal West Femto Maximum Sensitivity Substrate (Thermo)).

**Protein expression and purification of SopD, SopD(R312A), SopD2, Rab8 and Rab10.** SopD and SopD(R312A) were expressed in SHuffle® T7 express lysY E.coli C3030 (NEB, Ipswich, MA), while SopD2 and Rab8 in BL21(DE3). An overnight culture was inoculated into 1 L Terrific Broth (TB) media supplemented with 100 µg/ml ampicillin. IPTG at a final concentration of 0.5 mM was used to induce protein expression once OD₆₀₀ reached 1.0. The induced culture was incubated with shaking overnight at 20 °C when expressed in BL21(DE3) or for 4 h at 37 °C when expressed in C3030. After expression, the cell pellet was harvested, resuspended, and lysed in buffer containing 50 mM HEPES pH 8.0, 400 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM TCEP. The target protein was purified with affinity Talon resin. Afterwards, the protein was subjected to TEV cleavage to remove the His-tag while being dialyzed against a buffer containing 20 mM HEPES pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl and 0.5 mM TCEP at 4 °C overnight. Following the cleavage, TEV protease, which is His-tagged, was removed by Ni-NTA resin. The clean protein was further purified by size exclusion chromatography using a BioRad SEC650 column running in the same buffer as that used for dialysis.

Rab10 was expressed in ArcticExpress (DE3) (Agilent Technologies). An overnight culture supplemented with 100 µg/ml ampicillin and 20 µg/ml gentamicin was inoculated into 6 L TB media supplemented with 100 µg/ml ampicillin. The protein was expressed at 12 °C overnight using 0.5 mM IPTG when OD₆₀₀ reached 1.0. For Rab10 purification, 1 mM MgCl₂ and 10 µM GDP was added into buffer used for SopD. Rab10 was also purified with Talon resin and applied to SEC650 using a running buffer containing 20 mM HEPES pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM TCEP, 1 mM MgCl₂ and 10 µM GDP.

**GAP assay.** Purified SopD, SopD(R312A) and SopD2, at a concentration of 8 µM, were incubated with 8 µM Rab8 or Rab10 in a 40 µL reaction system containing 20 mM HEPES pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl₂ and 0.5 mM TCEP, at room temperature for 200 min. After the reactions, 160 µL of freshly mixed malachite green solution was added to the reactions for 15 min. The malachite green solution was mixed with 1.5 ml of 5.72% ammonium molybdate dissolved in 6 M HCl, 1.5 ml of 2.32% polyvinyl alcohol dissolved in H₂O, 3 ml of 0.406% malachite green dissolved in H₂O and 3 ml of H₂O⁷¹. The concentration of free inorganic phosphate (pᵢ) produced in each reaction was used as a read out of GTP hydrolysis. The concentration of pᵢ was calculated for each reaction using the absorbance values measured at 630 nm with a microplate reader (Molecular Devices M2⁵) and pᵢ standard curve. The concentration of pᵢ produced in each condition was normalized to the Rab10 only condition, after removing the background signal from SopD, SopDR312A or SopD2 alone. All the reactions were duplicated and the GAP assay was performed in 3 independent determinations with multiple preparations of proteins.

**Statistics.** Statistical analyses were conducted using GraphPad Prism v7.0. The mean ± standard error of the mean (S.E.M.) is shown in figures, and *P* values were calculated using independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA or two-way ANOVA, where indicated. A *p*-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant and is denoted by *. *p* < 0.01 is denoted by **, *p* < 0.001 is denoted by ***, and *p* < 0.0001 is denoted by ****.
