Thymosin α1 protects from CTLA-4 intestinal immunopathologyThis study demonstrates that Tα1 protects mice from anti–CTLA-4–induced colitis and sustains its antitumor activity, thus suggesting that Tα1 may be used in combination protocols.
MIC26 and MIC27 cooperate to regulate cardiolipin levels and the landscape of OXPHOS complexesApolipoproteins of MICOS, MIC26 and MIC27, cooperatively manage cristae structure, cardiolipin levels, and the global stability and integrity of respiratory chain supercomplexes and F1Fo–ATP synthase.
The bacterial quorum sensing signal DSF hijacks Arabidopsis thaliana sterol biosynthesis to suppress plant innate immunityThis study highlights that DSF, the quorum sensing signal produced by bacterial phytopathogens, is able to directly modulate plant plasma membrane dynamics by interfering with host lipid profile and thereby, suppress plant immunity responses.
Evolutionary divergence reveals the molecular basis of EMRE dependence of the human MCUUsing clues from evolution, chimeric proteins, and biochemical methods, this work identifies a new domain in mitochondrial calcium uniporter that determines its dependence on its binding partner EMRE.
Exploiting somatic piRNAs in Bemisia tabaci enables novel gene silencing through RNA feedingRNAi usually relies on Dicer-produced siRNAs to induce gene silencing. In many arthropods, another type of RNAi is present in the soma—the piRNA pathway. This work finds exploiting this biology is a viable alternative for gene knockdown.
Peptide-based quorum sensing systems in Paenibacillus polymyxaDiscovery of conserved communication systems in the agriculturally important Paenibacillus bacteria. These systems are widespread, and some species encode more than 25 different peptide-receptor pairs.
