Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

Cu2+ Inhibits the Peroxidase and Antibacterial Activity of Homodimer Hemoglobin From Blood Clam Tegillarca granosa by Destroying Its Heme Pocket Structure

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Beyond its role as an oxygen transport protein, the homodimer hemoglobin of blood clam Tegillarca granosa (Tg-HbI) has been found to possess antibacterial activity. However, the mechanism of antibacterial activity of Tg-HbI remain to be investigated.

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

Sophorolipids Having Enhanced Antibacterial Activity [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2007
Sophorolipids (SLs) are glycolipids produced fermentatively by yeasts such as Candida bombicola, Candida apicola, and Wickerhamiella domercqiae and composed of a dimeric sugar linked with a glycosidic bond to a hydroxyl fatty acid. SLs have generated interest in the pharmaceutical arena because of their wide array of therapeutic benefits.

Mycobacterial cell division arrest and smooth‐to‐rough envelope transition using CRISPRi‐mediated genetic repression systems

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing and phenotypic exploration in nontuberculous mycobacteria. In this Research Protocol, we describe approaches to control, monitor, and quantitatively assess CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing in M. smegmatis and M. abscessus model organisms.
