Abstract Background Biallelic loss‐of‐function variants in PI4K2A have been associated with a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by seizures and movement disorders, including orofacial dyskinesia. However, only 4 cases have been reported. Orolingual dyskinesia—defined as involuntary movements of the mouth and tongue—is observed in various ...

Characterization of avirulent mutant Legionella pneumophila that survive but do not multiply within human monocytes. [PDF]
Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease, is a Gram-negative bacterium and a facultative intracellular parasite that multiplies in human monocytes and alveolar macrophages. In this paper, mutants of L.

Coxiella burnetii Blocks Intracellular Interleukin-17 Signaling in Macrophages [PDF]
Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacterium and the etiological agent of Q fever. Successful host cell infection requires the Coxiella type IVB secretion system (T4BSS), which translocates bacterial effector proteins across the vacuole ...

Legionella drozanskii sp. nov., Legionella rowbothamii sp. nov. and Legionella fallonii sp. nov.: three unusual new Legionella species. [PDF]
Seven strains of Legionella-like amoebal pathogens (LLAPs) were characterized on the basis of their cultural and staining characteristics, biochemical reactions, serology, cellular fatty acids (CFAs), isoprenoid quinone composition, total DNA relatedness, analysis of 16S rRNA and macrophage infectivity potentiator (mip) gene sequence analyses.

Diversity and assembly of the microbiome of a leguminous plant along an urbanization gradient
Interactions between plants and bacterial communities are essential for host physiology and broader ecosystem functioning, but plant–microbiome interactions can be disrupted by environmental change like urbanization. Here, we evaluated how urbanization affected the diversity and assembly of soil and white clover Trifolium repens microbiome communities.

Predictable Modulation of a Spontaneous Post‐translational Modification in Living Cells
A new tool is reported for studying methylglyoxal (MGO)‐derived protein glycation by incorporating single amino acid mutations that predictably modulate glycation levels. Mass spectrometry of intact proteins and proteolytic digests reveal Tyr (or Glu) substitutions result in an increase (or decrease) in site‐specific glycation, enabling precise control

Symbiont-Mediated Defense against Legionella pneumophila in Amoebae
Bacterial pathogens are generally investigated in the context of disease. To prevent outbreaks, it is essential to understand their lifestyle and interactions with other microbes in their natural environment.

Glycoproteomics and Its Role in Understanding Bacterial O‐Linked Glycosylation
ABSTRACT Protein glycosylation is now recognized as a ubiquitous process observed in all domains of life. Within bacterial species, carbohydrates can be attached to multiple residues with glycosylation of serine, threonine, or tyrosine residues via their hydroxyl side chains referred to as O‐linked glycosylation.
