Legionella pneumophila encodes a family of phosphoribosyl ubiquitination ligases (SidE) essential for the bacterium to establish successful infection. Four independent studies now show that the SidE family of ubiquitin ligases are regulated by a novel mechanism of glutamylation via a pseudokinase-like Legionella effector, SidJ, in an ATP- and calmodulin-dependent manner.
