Characterisation of Typical Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (tEPEC) and bfpA Genes From Five Bat Species Reveals Australian Pteropus Spp. Are Natural tEPEC Hosts

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
This study revealed that Australia's five Pteropus bat species are all natural hosts of typical Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (tEPEC)—historically considered a human‐specific pathogen. Across the five Pteropus spp., tEPEC prevalence ranged between 14.2% and 37.0%, with 18 bat‐specific tEPEC strain types and 24 bat‐specific bfpA allele types ...

Structural Insights Into the Function of Leishmania major Adenylosuccinate Lyase

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 10, Page 1686-1701, October 2026.
ABSTRACT One of several intriguing aspects of kinetoplastid biochemistry is the complete dependence on host purines and purine recycling due to the lack of a de novo purine biosynthesis pathway. Adenylosuccinate lyase (ASL, EC 4.3.2.2) is a key enzyme in the purine synthesis pathway responsible for the conversion of adenylosuccinate into adenosine ...

Malaria mosquito antimicrobial defence requires immunity and detoxification gene regulation by Lola

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 576-593, October 2026.
Malaria mosquito antimicrobial defence requires upregulation of lola. Attenuation of lola in the midgut of Anopheles albimanus mosquitoes inhibits the upregulation of immunity genes induced by challenge. Putative target genes of the Lola transcription factor were revealed by lola attenuation, including Cecropin‐C, Draper, PPAF2, Clip‐domain serine ...

Peptide‐Enabled Nanoplatforms for Malaria and Leishmaniasis: From Intracellular Targeting to Translational Diagnostic Perspectives

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Peptide‐enabled nanoplatforms offer multifunctional strategies for the treatment and diagnosis of malaria and leishmaniasis. Liposomal, polymeric, and metallic nanocarriers, together with cell‐penetrating peptides and parasite‐derived mimotopes, can improve targeted drug delivery, stability, bioavailability, and intracellular localization.

Beyond the Active Site: First‐In‐Class Leishmania Infantum Trypanothione Reductase Dimerization Disruptors as Antileishmanial Leads

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
This review outlines a pioneering strategy to inhibit Leishmania infantum trypanothione reductase by disrupting its dimer interface. From peptides to small‐molecule proteomimetics, multiple chemotypes achieved potent enzymatic inhibition and notable cellular antileishmanial activity, highlighting a new therapeutic paradigm.

N8‐Modified Quino[4,3,2‐Kl]acridines as Promising Antimalarial G‐Quadruplex Ligands

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 17, 14 September 2026.
A series of extended aromatic compounds with tunable substituents was synthesized using a multistep methodology which allows various substitutions of the 8H‐quino[4,3,2‐kl]acridine scaffold. This chemical series appeared as a promising way to new antimalarial drug candidates with high activity (IC50 < 100 nM), exhibiting a novel mechanism of action ...

Synthesis and Evaluation of Peptoid‐Based Compound Libraries as Inhibitors of Parasite Metallo‐Aminopeptidases

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 17, 14 September 2026.
Evaluation of two libraries of peptoid‐based compounds for inhibitory activity against PfA‐M1 from Plasmodium falciparum, TcLAP from Trypanosoma cruzi, and LmLAP from Leishmania major reveals the crucial role of hydrophobic interactions in the inhibition process of these parasite metallo‐aminopeptidases.

Spotlight on the Nucleotide: Solid‐State NMR for the Investigation of ATP Hydrolysis in the ATPase SmsC

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 34, 11 September 2026.
Nucleotide‐detected solid‐state NMR has been applied to probe nucleotide conformations and dynamics during ATP hydrolysis using the dimeric P‐loop ATPase SmsC as a model protein. The different stages of ATP hydrolysis have been mimicked by ATP analogues for which different degrees of conformational heterogeneity have been observed. ABSTRACT Solid‐state
