Antimicrobial resistance: progress and challenges in antibiotic discovery and anti-infective therapy

Tino Krell et al.

Summary: The increasing antimicrobial resistance in human, animal and plant pathogens poses a challenge to global health and food production. Traditional antibiotic discovery methods often yield known compounds, emphasizing the need for more rational strategies. Alternative antiinfective therapy approaches targeting bacterial signaling pathways related to virulence are emerging, alongside advancements in high-throughput platforms and chemical synthesis for identifying new antibiotics.

Chemotaxis of the Human Pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa to the Neurotransmitter Acetylcholine

Miguel A. Matilla et al.

Summary: Acetylcholine is shown to attract the opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and this chemotaxis is mediated by the PctD chemoreceptor. The high-resolution structures of PctD-LBD with bound acetylcholine and choline, and PacA-LBD with bound betaine, reveal the molecular determinants for acetylcholine recognition.

A catalogue of signal molecules that interact with sensor kinases, chemoreceptors and transcriptional regulators

Miguel A. Matilla et al.

Summary: Bacteria have developed various signal transduction systems to sense and respond to signals, with transcriptional regulators, sensor histidine kinases, and chemoreceptors being the most prevalent. These systems use ligand-binding domains (LBDs) to recognize signal molecules and modulate the activity of the output module. By manually retrieving information from publications and 3D structures, the authors classified 811 proteins, revealing the signal profiles and distinguishing between families with promiscuous signal recognition and those with well-defined ligand ranges. This signal repertoire will aid in identifying signaling molecules for uncharacterised sensor proteins.

Direct binding of benzoate derivatives to two chemoreceptors with Cache sensor domains in Halomonas titanicae KHS3

Ana F. Gasperotti et al.

Summary: Halomonas titanicae KHS3, isolated from a hydrocarbon-contaminated sea harbor in Argentina, is capable of growing on aromatic hydrocarbons and displaying chemotaxis towards these compounds. Through high throughput screening, two chemoreceptors (Htc1 and Htc2) were identified to bind benzoate derivatives and organic acids, triggering a chemotactic response in Escherichia coli cells. The research also found that Htc1 mutant has reduced chemotaxis towards benzoate, but can be complemented by the expression of the corresponding receptor.

Highly accurate protein structure prediction with AlphaFold

John Jumper et al.

Summary: Proteins are essential for life, and accurate prediction of their structures is a crucial research problem. Current experimental methods are time-consuming, highlighting the need for accurate computational approaches to address the gap in structural coverage. Despite recent progress, existing methods fall short of atomic accuracy in protein structure prediction.

Prevalence and Specificity of Chemoreceptor Profiles in Plant-Associated Bacteria

Claudia Sanchis-Lopez et al.

Summary: Chemosensory pathways in bacteria are crucial for environmental sensing and response, with a large diversity of ligand binding domains (LBDs) identified. Our study demonstrates the importance of environmental factors in shaping the evolution and selection of LBDs, especially in plant-associated bacteria. The presence of niche-specific LBD types suggests lifestyle adaptation is important in the selection of these signal transduction proteins.
