Eukaryote‐Wide Distribution of a Family of Longin Domain‐Containing GAP Complexes for Small GTPases
Traffic, Volume 26, Issue 7-9, July/September 2025.The three longin domain‐containing GAP complexes ‐ CSW, folliculin, and GATOR1 ‐ have a sporadic but pan‐eukaryotic distribution and were likely already present in LECA in some form. Their catalytic longin domains contain highly conserved sequence motifs, some of which are shared with structurally similar proteins of Asgardarchaeota.

Rare Infectious Diseases: Detection and Clinical Implications
iLABMED, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 148-157, June 2025.Rare infectious diseases are infections that are uncommon, have a low incidence, and are caused by newly emerging pathogens, cross‐species or ectopic infections, or host immunodeficiencies. The detection and diagnosis of rare infections is one of the main reasons for misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

Paramoeba atlantica as a Natural Intracellular Niche for Vibrios in Marine Ecosystems
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2025.Various vibrios can colonise a large vacuole called VCV (Vibrio‐containing‐vacuole) within Paramoeba atlantica. The VCVs acidify and the vibrios multiply and remain alive inside the VCVs for hours. The vibrio found associated with Paramoeba atlantica can be pathogenic to oysters, suggesting that Paramoebidae are a potential reservoir for pathogens ...
