Bacterial Toxin Exploits Host Membrane Phospholipid as a Receptor for Binding, Entry, and Cytopathogenicity

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 125, Issue 2, Page 145-158, February 2026.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae pathogenesis relies on its CARDS toxin, which initiates cell binding and subsequent uptake by exploiting sphingomyelin, a key phospholipid found in the host plasma membrane. Maximal cellular entry and full cytotoxic effects are achieved through a synergistic mechanism that involves interaction with the protein coreceptor annexin ...

Poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase 2 is zinc-dependent enzyme and nucleosome reorganizer

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences
Poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase 2 (PARP2) is a nuclear protein, DNA damage sensor and an emerging target for development of anti-cancer drugs. Previously it was discovered that PARP2 binds to nucleosomes; however, critical factors involved in this process ...

Analyzing the safety of the parasiticide fungus Mucor circinelloides: first insights on its virulence profile and interactions with the avian gut microbial community

Microbiology Spectrum
Parasiticide fungi are considered an accurate, sustainable, and safe solution for the biocontrol of animal gastrointestinal (GI) parasites. This research provides an initial characterization of the virulence of the native parasiticide fungus Mucor ...

ARTD2 activity is stimulated by RNA [PDF]

, 2017
ADP-ribosyltransferases (ARTs) are important enzymes that regulate the genotoxic stress response and the maintenance of genome integrity. ARTD1 (PARP1) and ARTD2 (PARP2) are homologous proteins that modify themselves and target proteins by the addition ...

Epithelial-mesenchymal transitions: the importance of changing cell state in development and disease [PDF]

, 2009
The events that convert adherent epithelial cells into individual migratory cells that can invade the extracellular matrix are known collectively as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).

Molecular mechanisms of plant NLR activation and signalling

The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 3, February 2026.
SUMMARY Plants rely on NLRs (nucleotide‐binding leucine‐rich repeat receptors) to recognise effector proteins secreted by pathogens into plant cells and to deliver disease resistance. Plant NLRs are broadly characterised by their N‐terminal domains, which include the TIR (Toll/interleukin‐1 receptor) and the CC (coiled‐coil) domains.

Poly(ADP-ribose) Polymerase-1 (PARP1) in Atherosclerosis: From Molecular Mechanisms to Therapeutic Potential [PDF]

, 2014
Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation reactions, carried out by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs/ARTDs), are reversible posttranslational modifications impacting on numerous cellular processes (e.g., DNA repair, transcription, metabolism, or immune functions). PARP1

STAT6 and PARP Family Members in the Development of T Cell-dependent Allergic Inflammation [PDF]

, 2016
Allergic inflammation requires the orchestration of altered gene expression in the target tissue and in the infiltrating immune cells. The transcription factor STAT6 is critical in activating cytokine gene expression and cytokine signaling both in the ...
