A Small Cysteine-Free Protein Acts as a Novel Regulator of Fungal Insect-Pathogenic Lifecycle and Genomic Expression

mSystems, 2021
Small secreted proteins (SSPs), particularly cysteine-rich proteins secreted during fungal infection, comprise virulence effectors in plant-pathogenic fungi but remain unknown in insect-pathogenic fungi.

P2X7 Receptor Triggers Lysosomal Leakage Through Calcium Mobilization in a Mechanism Dependent on Pannexin-1 Hemichannels

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
The P2X7 receptor is a critical purinergic receptor in immune cells. Its activation was associated with cathepsin release into macrophage cytosol, suggesting its involvement in lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) and leakage.
