Identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis intracellular survival-related virulence factors via CRISPR-based eukaryotic-like secretory protein mutant library screen

Microbiology Spectrum
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb), remains a serious infectious disease posing significant global health challenges. A critical evolutionary feature of M.tb is its genome encoding a set of eukaryotic-like secretory proteins ...

The ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy as guardians of the cellular proteome

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This Perspective covers the three principles governing the crosstalk between the ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy in cellular proteostasis: (1) a shared ubiquitin code routing substrates via shuttle factors or autophagy receptors; (2) spatial compartmentalization into phase‐separated degradation hubs and organelle‐specific modules (exemplified

Novel and reported compensatory mutations in rpoABC genes found in drug resistant tuberculosis outbreaks

Frontiers in Microbiology
BackgroundRifampicin (RIF) is a key first-line drug used to treat tuberculosis, a primarily pulmonary disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. RIF resistance is caused by mutations in rpoB, at the cost of slower growth and reduced transcription ...

Transcriptional network analysis of PTEN‐protein‐deficient prostate tumors reveals robust stromal reprogramming and signs of senescent paracrine communication

Molecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 6, Page 1429-1452, June 2026.
Combining PTEN protein assessment and transcriptomic profiling of prostate tumors, we uncovered a network enriched in senescence and extracellular matrix (ECM) programs associated with PTEN loss and conserved in a mouse model. We show that PTEN‐deficient cells trigger paracrine remodeling of the surrounding stroma and this information could help ...

A Compensatory Mutation Provides Resistance to Disparate HIV Fusion Inhibitor Peptides and Enhances Membrane Fusion [PDF]

, 2013
Fusion inhibitors are a class of antiretroviral drugs used to prevent entry of HIV into host cells. Many of the fusion inhibitors being developed, including the drug enfuvirtide, are peptides designed to competitively inhibit the viral fusion protein ...
