S-acylation and lipid exchange at the ER-Golgi membrane contact sites regulate pathogen entry in human cells

Cells have evolved endocytic pathways to internalize different molecules, to regulate intra-cellular communication and their interaction with external environment. Pathogens have co-evolved with cells to exploit these processes for infections. In particula ...

Early-life vitamin A treatment rescues neonatal infection-induced durably impaired tolerogenic properties of celiac lymph nodes

Jörn Pezoldt

Gut -draining mesenteric and celiac lymph nodes (mLNs and celLNs) critically contribute to peripheral tolerance toward food and microbial antigens by supporting the de novo induction of regulatory T cells (Tregs). These tolerogenic properties of mLNs and c ...

Sporadic type VI secretion in seventh pandemic Vibrio cholerae

Melanie Blokesch, Sandrine Stutzmann, Nicolas René Chiaruttini, Alexis Joseph Proutière, Loriane Bader, Lisa Christina Metzger, Natalia Carolina Drebes Dorr, Sandrine Natacha Isaac

Vibrio cholerae is a pathogen that causes disease in millions of people every year by colonizing the small intestine and then secreting the potent cholera toxin. How the pathogen overcomes the colonization barrier created by the host’s natural microbiota i ...

Anaerobic arsenic methylation as a microbial warfare strategy

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Karin Lederballe Meibom, Nicolas Louis Maurice Jacquemin, Hugo Sallet, Jiangtao Qiao

Microbial arsenic methylation is established as a detoxification process under aerobic conditions (converting arsenite to monomethylated arsenate) but proposed to be a microbial warfare strategy under anoxic conditions due to the toxicity of its main produ ...

Bacterial matrix metalloproteases and serine proteases contribute to the extra-host inactivation of enteroviruses in lake water

Tamar Kohn, Virginie Bachmann

Enteroviruses are ubiquitous contaminants of surface waters, yet their fate in presence of microbial congeners is poorly understood. In this work, we investigated the inactivation of Echovirus-11 (E11) and Coxsackievirus-A9 (CVA9) by bacteria isolated from ...

Harnessing the Membrane Translocation Properties of AB Toxins for Therapeutic Applications

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg

Over the last few decades, proteins and peptides have become increasingly more common as FDA-approved drugs, despite their inefficient delivery due to their inability to cross the plasma membrane. In this context, bacterial two-component systems, termed AB ...

Identification of a Dps contamination in Mitomycin-C–induced expression of Colicin Ia

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

Colicins are bacterial toxins targeting Gram-negative bacteria, including E. coli and related Enterobacteriaceae strains. Some colicins form ion-gated pores in the inner membrane of attacked bacteria that are lethal to their target. Colicin Ia was the firs ...

Phototransformation kinetics of cyanobacterial toxins and secondary metabolites in surface waters

Sandro Marcotullio

Background Cyanobacteria and their toxins occur in high concentrations during the so-called bloom events in surface waters. To be able to assess the risks associated with cyanobacterial blooms, we need to understand the persistence and fate processes of th ...

Mammalian membrane trafficking as seen through the lens of bacterial toxins

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Francisco De Magalhães Sarmento R De Mesquita, Oksana Andrei Sergeeva

A fundamental question of eukaryotic cell biology is how membrane organelles are organised and interact with each other. Cell biologists address these questions by characterising the structural features of membrane compartments and the mechanisms that coor ...
