Guanylate-Binding Proteins are interferon-inducible GTPases that play a key role in cell autonomous responses against intracellular pathogens. Despite sharing high sequence similarity, subtle differences among GBPs translate into functional divergences that are still largely not understood. A key GBP feature is the formation of supramolecular GBP complexes on the bacterial surface. Such complexes are observed when GBP1 binds lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Shigella and Salmonella and further recruits GBP2-4. Here, we compared GBP recruitment on two cytosol-dwelling pathogens, Francisella novicida and S. flexneri. F. novicida was coated by GBP1 and GBP2 and to a lower extent by GBP4 in human macrophages. Contrary to S. flexneri, F. novicida was not targeted by GBP3, a feature independent of T6SS effectors. Multiple GBP1 features were required to promote targeting to F. novicida while GBP1 targeting to S. flexneri was much more permissive to GBP1 mutagenesis suggesting that GBP1 has multiple domains that cooperate to recognize F. novicida atypical LPS. Altogether our results indicate that the repertoire of GBPs recruited onto specific bacteria is dictated by GBP-specific features and by specific bacterial factors that remain to be identified.
