Stenotrophomonas maltophilia provokes NEU1-mediated release of a flagellin-binding decoy receptor that protects against lethal infection

iScience
Summary: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (Sm), a multidrug-resistant pathogen often isolated from immunocompromised individuals, presents its flagellin to multimeric tandem repeats within the ectodomain of mucin-1 (MUC1-ED), expressed on airway epithelia ...

Identification of glycosylation genes and glycosylated amino acids of flagellin in Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci [PDF]

, 2006
A glycosylation island is a genetic region required for glycosylation. The glycosylation island of flagellin in Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci 6605 consists of three orfs: orf1, orf2 and orf3.

Type I interferon overactivation in sera of patients with anti‐MDA5‐positive dermatomyositis‐associated interstitial lung disease

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
Sera from patients with anti‐MDA5‐positive dermatomyositis‐associated interstitial lung disease (ILD) exhibit significantly higher type I interferon (IFN‐I) bioactivity and interferon‐stimulated gene‐inducing activity compared to anti‐ARS‐positive ILD and healthy controls.

Shoc2 recognizes bacterial flagellin and mediates antibacterial Erk/Stat signaling in an invertebrate.

PLoS Pathogens, 2022
Flagellin is a key bacterial virulence factor that can stimulate molecular immune signaling in both animals and plants. The detailed mechanisms of recognizing flagellin and mounting an efficient immune response have been uncovered in vertebrates; however,

Nanobodies as next‐generation targeting platforms: From discovery technologies to translational biomedicine

VIEW, EarlyView.
Nanobodies, derived from the variable domains of camelid heavy‐chain‐only antibodies, have emerged as transformative biomedical tools due to their nanoscale size, exceptional stability, and unique capacity to recognize cryptic epitopes. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the field, outlining the structural and biochemical features of ...

Flagellin-induced corneal antimicrobial peptide production and wound repair involve a novel NF-kappaB-independent and EGFR-dependent pathway.

PLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundThe bacterial protein flagellin plays a major role in stimulating mucosal surface innate immune response to bacterial infection and uniquely induces profound cytoprotection against pathogens, chemicals, and radiation.

Molecular Mechanisms Used by Salmonella to Evade the Immune System [PDF]

, 2017
Human and animal pathogens are able to circumvent, at least temporarily, the sophisticated immune defenses of their hosts. Several serovars of the Gram-negative bacterium Salmonella enterica have been used as models for the study of pathogen-host ...

Allergic Sensitization to Inhalant Allergens in the Upper Respiratory Tract—the B Cell Side

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allergic diseases are on the rise worldwide, driven by respiratory epithelial barrier dysfunction that promotes sensitization to inhalant allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and fungal spores. These antigens trigger IgE‐mediated immune responses that lead to diseases such as allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma.

Toxoplasma gondii profilin does not stimulate an innate immune response through bovine or human TLR5 [PDF]

Toxoplasma gondii is responsible for one of the most prevalent infections in people. T. gondii profilin (TgPr) is a protein integral to parasite movement and cellular invasion. Murine TLR has been described to bind TgPr. Furthermore, more recently, human

Gac two-component system in Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci is required for virulence but not for hypersensitive reaction [PDF]

, 2008
Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci 6605 causes wildfire disease on host tobacco plants. To investigate the regulatory mechanism of the expression of virulence, Gac two-Component system-defective mutants, Delta gacA and Delta gacS, and a double mutant, Delta
