Microbial source tracking of fecal contamination in Laguna Lake, Philippines using the library-dependent method, rep-PCR

Journal of Water and Health, 2021
Laguna Lake is an economically important resource in the Philippines, with reports of declining water quality due to fecal pollution. Currently, monitoring methods rely on counting fecal indicator bacteria, which does not supply information on potential ...

The roles of GpsB and DivIVA in Staphylococcus aureus growth and division

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The spheroid bacterium Staphylococcus aureus is often used as a model of morphogenesis due to its apparently simple cell cycle. S. aureus has many cell division proteins that are conserved across bacteria alluding to common functions.

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 ...

Phosphoinositides and host–pathogen interactions [PDF]

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2015
Phosphoinositides control key cellular processes including vesicular trafficking and actin polymerization. Intracellular bacterial pathogens manipulate phosphoinositide metabolism in order to promote their uptake by target cells and to direct in some cases the biogenesis of their replication compartments.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

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 ...
