    Perinatal hormones favor CC17 group B Streptococcus intestinal translocation through M cells and hypervirulence in neonates

    Constantin Hays, Gérald Touak ... Asmaa Tazi
    Hormonal concentrations found in over 7-day-old neonates favor CC17 GBS invasiveness in a process linked to intestinal M cells maturation and mediated by the CC17 GBS surface protein Srr2.

    The phage L capsid decoration protein has a novel OB-fold and an unusual capsid binding strategy

    Rebecca L Newcomer, Jason R Schrad ... Kristin N Parent
    The structure of phage L's Dec demonstrates a new fold within this family of proteins, and shows modulation of capsid binding occurs through two sites, with site 1 being preferred.

    Mobile barrier mechanisms for Na+-coupled symport in an MFS sugar transporter

    Parameswaran Hariharan, Yuqi Shi ... Lan Guan
    The use of a conformation-selective inhibitory nanobody provides critical information on MelB at a low-sugar affinity inward-facing Na+-bound state for establishing the mobile barrier and substrate-releasing mechanisms.

    Akkermansia muciniphila identified as key strain to alleviate gut barrier injury through Wnt signaling pathway

    Xin Ma, Meng Li ... Xinyan Han
    FMT alleviated the intestinal barrier damage caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infection in antibiotic-induced microbiome-disordered model through increasing the relative abundance of A. muciniphila in the intestine.

    Structural basis for the hijacking of endosomal sorting nexin proteins by Chlamydia trachomatis

    Blessy Paul, Hyun Sung Kim ... Brett M Collins
    Chlamydia hijacks membrane trafficking proteins of the human host via the cytoplasmic domain of a secreted transmembrane protein.

    A genetic screen in macrophages identifies new regulators of IFNγ-inducible MHCII that contribute to T cell activation

    Michael C Kiritsy, Laurisa M Ankley ... Andrew J Olive
    Med16 and GSK3b regulate interferon gamma-mediated MHCII expression in macrophages and are required for CD4+ T cell activation.

    The acetylase activity of Cdu1 regulates bacterial exit from infected cells by protecting Chlamydia effectors from degradation

    Robert J Bastidas, Mateusz Kędzior ... Raphael H Valdivia
    Genetic and biochemical analyses show that Chlamydia protects secreted effectors necessary for its exit from infected cells, preventing them from undergoing ubiquitination and degradation.
