Xenophagy of invasive bacteria is differentially activated and modulated via a TLR-TRAF6-Beclin1 axis in echinoderms

Yina Shao et al.

Summary: This study used Apostichopus japonicus as a model to investigate the differential regulation of xenophagy in response to different bacterial species in marine environments. The results revealed different pathways of xenophagy activation by different bacteria, providing important insights into the immune mechanisms of marine organisms against microbial challenges.

Vibrio splendidus flagellin C binds tropomodulin to induce p38 MAPK-mediated p53-dependent coelomocyte apoptosis in Echinodermata

Fa Dai et al.

Summary: The study revealed that the flagellum protein of Vibrio splendidus destroyed tissue structure and promoted apoptosis in sea cucumber, with the novel receptor AjTmod playing a role in activating the p38 MAPK signaling pathway to induce p53-dependent coelomocyte apoptosis in Echinodermata.

Vibrio splendidus virulence to Apostichopus japonicus is mediated by hppD through glutamate metabolism and flagellum assembly

Weikang Liang et al.

Summary: In this study, the pathogenesis of Vibrio splendidus was investigated using mutant strains with an hppDV.s. deletion. The results showed that hppDV.s. plays a crucial role in amino acid metabolism, protein binding, glutamate metabolism, ATP production, flagellum assembly, swarming motility, biofilm formation, and colonization abilities of V. splendidus.

F-actin organization and target constriction during primary macrophage phagocytosis is balanced by competing activity of myosin-I and myosin-II

Sarah R. Barger et al.

Summary: This study investigates the phagocytosis of primary bone marrow-derived macrophages using high-resolution imaging and novel biophysical approaches. It is found that the behavior of primary cells during phagocytosis is distinct from immortalized cell lines, exhibiting gentle target constriction and modest polarization of F-actin distribution. Long-tailed myosins 1e/f play a critical role in this process, as deficiency of myo1e/f causes significant changes in F-actin localization. Surprisingly, these changes can be almost fully reversed by inhibiting another myosin motor protein, myosin-II.

A bacterial phospholipid phosphatase inhibits host pyroptosis by hijacking ubiquitin

Qiyao Chai et al.

Summary: The protein phosphatase PtpB from Mycobacterium tuberculosis is found to inhibit the host inflammasome-pyroptosis pathway by dephosphorylating phosphatidylinositol-4-monophosphate and phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate in host cell membrane, disrupting the localization of cleaved GSDMD and inhibiting cytokine release and pyroptosis of macrophages. This phosphatase activity requires PtpB binding to ubiquitin. Disrupting phospholipid phosphatase activity or the ubiquitin-interacting motif of PtpB enhances host immune responses and reduces intracellular pathogen survival.

vscN encodes a type III secretion system ATPase in Vibrio splendidus AJ01 that contributes to pathogenicity and Hop secretion

Qiuting Zhuang et al.

Summary: The T3SS ATPase gene VscN in Vibrio splendidus AJ01 plays a crucial role in pathogenesis, affecting the survival rate of Apostichopus japonicus. The expression and secretion of the T3SS effector Hop are attenuated in the Delta vscN mutant strain, indicating a dependency on VscN.

Molecular Targets and Strategies for Inhibition of the Bacterial Type III Secretion System (T3SS); Inhibitors Directly Binding to T3SS Components

Julia A. Hotinger et al.

Summary: The type III secretion system (T3SS) is a virulence apparatus used by many Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria to cause infections. Pathogens utilizing T3SS are responsible for millions of infections yearly. The T3SS has emerged as an attractive anti-virulence target for therapeutic design due to its complexity and the potential to directly target components.

A unique NLRC4 receptor from echinoderms mediates Vibrio phagocytosis via rearrangement of the cytoskeleton and polymerization of F-actin

Kaiyu Chen et al.

Summary: The study identified that the AjNLRC4 receptor in sea cucumber can directly bind microbes via its extracellular Ig domain and agglutinate a variety of microbes in a Ca2+-dependent manner. This indicates its important role in mediating host immune response.

An infection-induced RhoB-Beclin 1-Hsp90 complex enhances clearance of uropathogenic Escherichia coli

Chunhui Miao et al.

Summary: In an infection model of uropathogenic Escherichia coli, upregulation of RhoB induces autophagosome formation in a complex with Beclin1 and Hsp90, leading to enhanced bacterial clearance. This suggests that RhoB may be a potential target for developing treatment strategies against uropathogenic E. coli infections.

The cytoskeleton in phagocytosis and macropinocytosis

Sivakami Mylvaganam et al.

Summary: Cells of the innate immune system, such as macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells, rely on dynamic membrane protrusions for essential antimicrobial and homeostatic functions. These protrusions, including pseudopodia, lamellipodia, and filopodia, facilitate the sampling and engulfment of surrounding fluid and particulates through mechanisms that involve extreme plasma membrane deformations and coordinated rearrangement of cytoskeletal polymers. This process ultimately leads to vacuolar compartments that undergo remodeling and resolution through cytoskeletal mechanisms.

Pathogenicity and Virulence of Legionella: Intracellular replication and host response

Deepika Chauhan et al.

Summary: Legionella bacteria, natural pathogens of amoebae, can cause a severe pneumonia in humans. Human infection occurs through inhalation of Legionella-contaminated aerosols, leading to bacterial replication within alveolar macrophages. The pathogenicity of Legionella in humans has resulted from extensive co-evolution with diverse genera of amoebae.
