The functional relevance of shrimp C-type lectins in host-pathogen interactions.

Developmental and Comparative Immunology, 2020
C-type lectins (CTLs) are key recognition proteins in shrimp immunity. A few years ago we reviewed sequence information, ligand specificity, expression profiles and specific functions of the shrimp CTLs.

Host specificity and genetics of host resistance in the "Daphnia-Pasteuria" host-parasite system [PDF]

, 2012
Antagonistic coevolution plays an important role in a large number of evolutionary and ecological phenomena. Furthermore, according to the Red Queen Theory coevolution between hosts and their parasites may explain the maintenance of sexual reproduction ...

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Isolation and Molecular Identification of Potentially Pathogenic Free-Living Amoeba in Tap Water Faucets in Quezon City, Philippines

Journal of Parasitology Research
Free-living amoebae (FLA) are ubiquitous in environmental water and soil, and their presence in water systems for human consumption is a public health concern due to their potential pathogenicity and ability to act as a reservoir for pathogenic bacteria.

Role of PQBP1 in Pathogen Recognition—Impact on Innate Immunity

Viruses
The intrinsically disordered polyglutamine-binding protein 1 (PQBP1) has been linked to various cellular processes including transcription, alternative splicing, translation and innate immunity.

Novel insights into host-pathogen interactions of large yellow croakers (Larimichthys crocea) and pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas plecoglossicida using time-resolved dual RNA-seq of infected spleens

Zoological Research, 2020
Host-pathogen interactions are highly complex, involving large dynamic changes in gene expression during infection. These interactions are fundamental to understanding anti-infection immunity of hosts, as well as the pathogenesis of pathogens.

Revealing the molecular signatures of host-pathogen interactions. [PDF]

, 2011
Advances in sequencing technology and genome-wide association studies are now revealing the complex interactions between hosts and pathogen through genomic variation signatures, which arise from evolutionary co ...

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Dephosphorylation of the HIV-1 restriction factor SAMHD1 is mediated by PP2A-B55α holoenzymes during mitotic exit

Nature Communications, 2018
SAMHD1 is a critical restriction factor for HIV-1 and its antiviral activity is regulated by T592 phosphorylation. Here, Schott et al. show that the phosphatase PP2A-B55α dephosphorylates SAMHD1 during mitotic exit, rendering it antivirally active in G1 ...

A new tractable method for generating human alveolar macrophage-like cells in vitro to study lung inflammatory processes and diseases

mBio, 2023
Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are unique lung resident cells that contact airborne pathogens and environmental particulates. The contribution of human AMs (HAMs) to pulmonary diseases remains poorly understood due to the difficulty in accessing them from ...
