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.

Insight into immunoregulatory and neuromodulatory capability of Bacteroides cellulosilyticus and Bacteroides xylanisolvens human gut microbiota isolates

Scientific Reports
Alterations in the abundance of Bacteroides species are linked to the disruption of the intestinal epithelial barrier and chronic inflammation and has been increasingly recognized as a factor in the development of neurological and neuropsychiatric ...

Pheromone races of Cydia splendana (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) overlap in host plant association and geographic distribution

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014
Identification of the sex pheromone of Cydia splendana (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) by pheromone gland analysis followed by field trapping with synthetic compounds shows the occurrence of two pheromone races.

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.

Bacterial exopolysaccharides mediate activation of flavin-containing monooxygenase 2 to extend lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans

Cell Communication and Signaling
The gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in modulating host physiology and longevity through the production of microbial-derived molecules. Among these, bacterial exopolysaccharides (EPS) represent a structurally diverse group of surface polysaccharides ...

Open field study of some Zea mays hybrids, lipid compounds and fumonisins accumulation [PDF]

, 2015
Lipid molecules are increasingly recognized as signals exchanged by organisms interacting in pathogenic and/or symbiotic ways. Some classes of lipids actively determine the fate of the interactions.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

An effector of the Irish potato famine pathogen antagonizes a host autophagy cargo receptor [PDF]

, 2016
Plants use autophagy to safeguard against infectious diseases. However, how plant pathogens interfere with autophagy-related processes is unknown. Here, we show that PexRD54, an effector from the Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans, binds

In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...
